Kickstand

Had my KZ1000J towed home a few weeks ago and was not happy with how they secured my scooter. It was on the kickstand and some 300 pound dude really "cinched" those tiedowns (until I screamed in pain). No noticeable damage, but my bike seems to lean over alot more than it did previously. I usually always use the centerstand so can't remember what the lean was like before. There is also alot of "side-to-side" play in my kickstand. Is that "normal"? I don't rememebr how it was before the "injury". Need to be more perceptive I guess.

I woulf look for a frame crack around the kickstand. I had a frame break in that area once when I had a bike towed. I was off to jail and did not see how th bike was towed.

I would check the bolt on the kickstand to see if it is tight. If the kickstand was sloppy that would be the only cause that I know of. Roy

Apologize for the hijack

Best quote I've seen on KZR!!!! We have to hear the details!

Mount welds on frame look OK. The play is in the kickstand itself. Bolt is tight. And yep, "off to jail" should make an interesting topic!!!
