I did read an earlier post that the 07 models will not start in gear unless the clutch is engaged.

The locking tab on mine never locks. Is there a way to adjust it?

At the P.D. where I work this past July 4th. One of our motor guys was taking a left at a intersection at fairly slow pace when the kickstand malfuntioned and went down. The kickstand stuck on the pavement and jack-knifed the bike. He broke both of his wrists and bruised his ankle pretty bad. He was riding a 2006 Harley.

Its not that unusual for the kickstand spring to come off. When I was in motor school we had kickstand springs coming off all the time. Motor units see a lot of unimproved terrain that cause the springs to come off. I would be careful around speed bumps. I had the spring come off on a motor unit while riding on patrol when I went over a speed bump. After the spring comes off the first time it seems to come off easier. I had to lay the bike over to get the spring back on. I carried a leatherman to get the spring back on.
