Jiffy Stand????
This is a new term for me. Never heard it called a Jiffy Stand. I am assuming they are talking about
the side stand on the side? I have always called it a kickstand or sidestand.
So when they say check the oil with the bike on the Jiffy Stand they are acutally talking about
the sidestand?

RE: Jiffy Stand????
They oughtta call em "pain in the *** to get to with a crappy spring" stand. I always have to reach 2 or 3 times to get at mine and then have to push it out all the way with my foot cause the spring won't pull it out all the way. [:@]
Does this mean I have to call a kickstarter a "jiffy starter"? [&:]

RE: Jiffy Stand????
The name comes from the very early days of Harley-Davidson garages. If a customer came by to get some work done themechanic would get right on it but as things pick-up and they were busy he would say " Be with you in a jiffy". Just like today it means put the stand down( hence Jiffy stand) you're going to wait.
Ride well,
