Is it normal for a kickstand to do this?

[denon970]

Its a Gen I (99). There's so much play, if it drops any more than an inch while riding, it shuts the bike off. I also noticed the tab that pushes in the sensor is bent. Even all the way up, the sensor is 2/3 out.

There's a problem somewhere, hopefully it's just a bent tab. Anybody else have these issues? Bypassing the switch is not an option. Thanks!!!

Looks to me that the mount is completely worn out

Yep and I wonder how it got so worn. that a lot of wiggle room.

New bracket is like ~$90. You could take off that bracket and bore it and the stand out for a larger bolt maybe.

Thanks again guys. I guess thats my next project. I should also mention that for about a week straight it gets really hard to put down, and then works easilly for about a month, and the cycle repeats. I have no idea why its so worn...only ride in the rain when I get caught. Maybe the previous owner did some kind of mod to it. I'll probably see if I can find a used bracket in good condition, even if I do have to put another $90 into the bike it's a small price to pay.

or u could use washers to stiffen it up so it doesnt wobble so much?

Yeah something to definitely be fixed... i would consider that a priority and not a project... just sayin...

I would hate to see your next thread be about needing a new left fairing cause it gave out on you or caused the bike to fall...

I recomend 200 mph duct tape to hold it up

I paid around $20 on Ebay for a kickstand assy and switch. $90 is crazy!

Post up needing one on here....someone has got to have one laying around.

send me an email and it's yours (denon970@stny.rr.com)

The garage is well insulated and I had all the doors closed so it was like a club in there

Chris - duct tape would be too hard to get off...what about a bungie?

A Hayabusa parts guy I know about an hour away is checking to see if he has one in good shape, if not, I'll try the WTB section here, or eBay. If I can get one easily, it would be better than trying to mod the one I have.
