I have recently been having an issue where the kickstand has been coming loose on bumpy potions of the freeway/highway and lowering to the point of engaging the killswitch.
When I checked the kickstand out I compared it to my '08 Busa; everything seemed normal, and all parts are secure/tight. When its in the up position it takes a good amount of force (far more force than I would think needed to come loose from these bumps) to push it down and out from its seated position. After it happened the first time (its happened 3 times in total now) I thought maybe I just hadn't pushed it up all the way before first taking off. But I have been careful to make sure its all the way up since then, and yesterday it happened twice on the same ride, roughly 5 minutes apart. I am 100% certain that the kickstand was all the way up after the 1st time during that ride, but it still happened. And there is no way that my foot is hitting the kickstand in anyway to help force it loose.
I have tried searching around but haven't come across any threads of people with a similar problem. I have some experience working on the bike, but its mostly limited to routine maintenance, so this is a bit out of the norm for me. So any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Oh, and its a 2014 Hayabusa.
