Title: WTB Side stand spring
Post by: stacky on February 07, 2012, 08:37:39 PM
Hey Guys,

Got my new handlebars on thanks to fleshpiston. Everything seems good but my side stand doesn't want to swing all the way up. My bike has died more than once from the side stand switch disengaging while riding D: I'm thinking the easiest fix is to get a new spring that pulls it in all the way. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know.

There are 2 springs on the side stand. One inside the other. If you don't have both, it can be a problem.
I do have a pile of them.

sounds obvious but make sure to take it apart and clean and lube the pivot point too.
