I have searched, but haven't been able to find anything specific to my issue. I have noticed my Kat seems to lean over extra far when on the sidestand compared to any other bike I've seen. It feels like it takes its inital set, then leans over another few degrees, for lack of a better way to describe it. I took some pics of the stand yesterday when I had it up on the centerstand while I was installing some new rear turn signals. The "tabs" on the stand seem to have a "vee" shape to them rather than aligning straight. Twice now, my stand has sunken into the pavement at work when I didn't use my stand plate, while my coworker's CBR-1100XX (540 lb.) doesn't, and he doesn't use a plate. Is this normal? Do I need a new stand? Also, does anybody know what the bolt that is circled in yellow goes to? It's super tight, yet not threaded in all the way. The last pic is with the stand "pulled out" to its usual position when parked. Pics:
Thanks!
Thanks!
