Side stand

Post by Redoliander »

Is it common for the side stand to get bent? My 1000 has seemed to be leaning a bit more than normal. I noticed it is bent a bit. I've looked on eBay and there seems to be quite a bit of people selling side stands that look to be bent. Image

first impressions seem to be that its normal...is your rear tyre flat? that would make it lean less on the angle
If its not broken it dont need fixing

Yea. Just used to a kickstand being straight. I'd rather ask a stupid question than look stupid with the bike on its side on the floor.

Yeah mine was bent when i picked up the frame and when i noticed the crash damage i thought it was from the fall you that it got the bend in it, I guess not thanks for doing the asking of my question.
