I am new to motorcycles so excuse my ignorance but does the kick stand feel like it could of been made to work a bit better? Do all bikes feel this shaky when on stands? and yes I do have the front wheel in the right place.
^^ +1No... the kickstand kind of sucks. I wish they would have added a center stand but oh well.
^^ +1It just seems like it needs a bigger foot to me.
awesome. had to laugh on that oneNo problems here with the kickstand. Seems sturdy enough for my liking
tho.. The placement or sensitivity of the horn button gets me occassionally, when i reach my thumb over for the turn signal. (I pretend to wave to a friend in passing car when that happens)
I found using the heel of my boot works well. I just have to make sure I look down so I miss the foot peg and shift lever. As far as stability, it seems fine to me. I make sure to park on level surfaces and lock the forks just in case someone gets overeager when looking at it.I really don't have any issues with how the bike sits on its stand... I have an issue putting the stand DOWN though while sitting on the bike. I have to move the foot peg with my shoe so I can get it down. Def didn't have to do that on either of my other bikes.
Ah, that's what I'll have to start doing too.No problems here with the kickstand. Seems sturdy enough for my liking

Man, I used to do that almost every **** time. Not as bad now, but I had a couple of embarrassing moments too.awesome. had to laugh on that one![]()
As others have said too, I threw a crushed can under my seat from day one just in case. No need unless it's a really hot day though.Had the bike sitting in a parking lot on a hot summer day. When I got back to it the kickstand sank into the pavement almost 2 inches. It looked like the bike was about to fall over.
