lately i've been having issues with my kickstand kicking back on me on my 2012 fatboy lo, and almost dropping the bike 3 times in the past month. It feels like it's not sitting correctly when i put it down. as soon as i turn the wheel to the left it hear it scrape and the bike starts to go down. suggestions?

 

Check fasteners. Make sure they're good 'n tight

 

will do

 

There's a pair of brass bushes that are quite thin and prone to wear and distortion that are located in the slot that the pin sits in.

Worth changing as they don't cost much and could cure your problem.


BUSHING, jiffy stand (2)
Part no. 53176-08

 

i will look into that, thanks

 

Of ourse, you cN always lean it up against objects in the mean time. Cool guys do it all the time

 

it doesn't kick out all the time, but enough to bug me.. i prefer to fit it than be cool, lol

 

Go to "you tube' and search for Jiffystand. There are several vides outlining service procedures. Pay close attention to the removal and installing the stand. The stand is actually used to remove and install the spring safely. Also wear goggles.

 

As Gaz B suggested I would check those bushing. I'm **** about things and changed mine out this spring.
May not be relevant as the parts guy told me I was the first person that had ever ask about them.

 

I'm **** about it too. I will check youtube. if need be i may just have a new kickstand put on, unless it's an easy fix. Thanks Gents!
