I just have confidence that the engineers who put together the fastest production motorcycle put a kickstand on it that works just fine.
And I would bet if you had not read about the problems here early on you would have dumped the bike by now. Every Busa owner that knows about that POS excuse for a kickstand goes through the paranoid schizo act of:
1) go out of your way to find the most level place to park and if you have to park on an incline make sure you go out of your way again to park it facing up hill.
2) put the kickstand down.
3) kick it foward a few times just to make sure.
4) make sure bike is in first gear and push forward to take slack out of drive line.
5) turn handle bars all the way to left.
6) kick the stand forward one more time.
7) set the bike down on stand.
8) walk 20' away, get that bad feeling inside and then come back to double check on everything and kick the stand forward once again.
9) leave then pray all day long that it's still standing when you get back.
Oh and for different weather conditions don't forget to add parking the bike with the right side facing any strong winds or in the case of a hot day while on ashphalt, search around for an empty pop can to smash and place under that pointy stand.
For my Honda's:
1) park them anywhere I want in any gear including neutral.
2) walk away and never give it a second thought as even a car bumping the rear wouldn't push it off the stand.
