Default kick stand

Is there any adjustment to the kickstand? i notice mine does not seem to go quite to the flat position. it hits the stop and is still pitched just a little forward. looked underneath and can't see any place for an adjustment. don't want to have an accident....
Thanks

I am not positive but I think that there is no real adjustment. I think that the lock tab and kickstand have a square hole hat the pivot goes through and so there is no adjust. But I have been known to be wrong from time to time. Maybe someone else knows for sure.[sm=icon_blah.gif]

I noticed the same thing about mine, but just thought it added some extra stability and wouldn't get bumped as easily as if it were on dead center.

do you have a mc jack? if so if you hit the spring with the jack while trying to get in position, it can knock the spring out of wack, and it will dangle when its in the riding position. did it to my sportster, replaced the spring good as new!
