  1. The bottom pad is bent up as the bike rolled over it.  The rest of the kick stand is find.  Now the bike leans over too much.  Is it suppose to give a little as weight is put on it?  I guess i could take to a machine shop and have that bottom pad bent back and get  a wider pad.  But my original question was, is there an aftermarket replacement?

  2. Thanks for responding.  It was sitting a concrete pad by the gas pump.  I just stepped on the left peg and by the time i hade my foot over, it just started to lean too much and over it went.  After getting it back upright (with help from the store attendant), the bottom section was bent just enough that it would not hold the bike up.  I now have to get off and use the center stand.  I always thought it was a little sketchy stepping on the pegs this way but this is the first time this happened.  I am now in the process of finding a replacement.

  3. Yesterday, after i filled up the tank, i went to get on and the bike tipped over.  I have always stood on the pegs to get my leg over the seat but this time, i thought the lean was too much when i set it but I did it anyway.  So now , the left side bag is scraped along as small scrap on the upper fairing.  Is there an aftermarket side stand that you would recommend?

  4. thanks for responding. 
    The instructions are worthless. I am figuring the wiring as i go.  I don’t think I have the right wires tapped. I have the yellow wire from the bunch that goes to the brake light tapped right. I have the ground wire that I tapped correct. Just need to figure out the running light and the turn signals. These are the wires I have tapped

  5. I am finally picking up my new bike this Thursday.  I was tying to sell my current bike, but no offers came thru.  Then winter happened.  I was not getting any bites, so I decided to almost give it to the dealer in trade.

  6. I am a new member that is going to replace my ST1300 with the 2019 Tracer 900 GT whenever a local dealer can get one.  The last one I contacted mentioned a production slow down.  They have several on order but have not received a shipping date.  I look forward to many discussions on this forum.  Also, is there a way to change the color of the forum.  I find the black background is difficult for me to read.
