I took off my kickstand today to drill and tap the pad for my testing of my designs of bigfoot pads.
The Sidestand pivot nut (manual page 3-25) was supposed to be torqued to 21 ft lbs. It wasn't even figure tight.
Even if it had fallen off, the pivot bolt would have still been threaded into the kickstand, so there was no danger of it falling out.
Even so, it would be interesting to see if anyone else's pivot nut has loosened up over time.....parts falling off are never a good thing.
