Default Kickstand alignment
Ok this sounds crazy!!!! But my kickstand isn't hitting the rubber pad like it normally was... It came out of no where... I've been hunting if there was an adjustment but it doesn't look like it.. Hard to see anything under the primary... Anyone have any insight?!?!?

Mine does it too,it was hitting the rubber pad and then after I had the bike in for service it started hitting the frame,I've got under the bike and thought I could move the pad some but that didn't work,actually made it sound louder,just something else to learn to live with I guess,unless there is something that can be done.

My guess would be that the rubber bumper slid...move it back into position.

Slide it back to the original position than put a couple of spots of black silicone adhesive to hold it in place.

So how is it originally attached cause the rubber pad looks stationary... I push and pulled on it and was thinking since I had my bike on a lift that it could of bent it...

The rubber kickstand bumper just slips on the frame. It looks like this


Mine kept slipping and was torn and eventually fell off. I bought a new one and this one so far seems to be staying in place.
