Kickstand!
OK...I feel stupid posting this one!Had to ride over a piece of debris kicked up by a car today. \\; I negotiate it ok...it hits the bottom of the frame...My kickstand drops. \\; I stop and see the spring is off but hanging. \\; OK...I have to ask...how does the thing go back on? \\; Does anyone have a pic of this? \\; I had to Bungee cord it up to drive back home. \\; HELP! \\;

RE: Kickstand!
Im looking at the service and parts manual. Doesnt show where it attaches on the frame.
Someone would have to take a pic and post it.

Okay, look under the frame. Where the jiffy stand bends to go up and into the bracket that attaches it to the frame.
Under there, there is a square tab with a small hole in it. On the inside of the frame.
Thats where.
Manual says you have to remove the fastener on the top of the arm only and let the stand swing forward to attach the spring. Then swing it back and install that thick pant leg washer.
Hope that helps.

RE: Kickstand!
listen good to that advice. \\; if you swing the jiffy stand all the way forward, you can easily hook the spring up. \\; then swing it back, put the locking tab back on, and you're done. \\; 5 mins tops.
