Like you don't have a profile lbjgh, i don't know if you have a kat for sure, anyways the side stand of 98+ kats are not very trustworthy because they are not flat enough at the very bottom, always use your centerstand if you do own a Kat.

Ya Tito750, I've got a silver 2005 750 Kat.

... It was gusty as hell so I wouldn't be surprised if the bike fell of the centre stand too.

Earlier in the day I had actually pulled over because it was so damn windy. I had adjusted my chain before the ride and thought I left something loose.

The thing that kills me is that I've read other threads on this forum where people's Kats fell over after using the sidestand.

Was your bike lowered? Or was the steering turned to the right which made it easy for the wind to push over.

Exactly as this picture below but I moved the bike 6ft back, hence hitting the grass when it fell.

Yeah I figured out to put it in first gear when my son ran his battery powered four wheeler into the rear tire and it landed on the plastic garbage cans in the garage,man was I lucky.

Yup a hard lesson to learn, Always always park the bike in gear.[/b]

and if your name is Taz, dont get off the bike till its stopped and completely on the side stand
