I haven't had any problems with mine folding. However, I did have a problem with mine intermittently failing to engage the starter solenoid safety switch on my Gixxer1k in the first position. I was not satisfied with the answer I got with them ("thanks, we are fixing that with our newer version that we intend to put out someday") but did not offer to replace mine, even when I showed them a pic of mine vs. OEM that showed the hole was off just a little (but enough). I'm not believing the 'lifetime warranty" bit. But I'd certainly contact them maybe your experience will be better than mine good luck!
