Kickstand spring finished?

Post by KanuckKDX »

My kickstand bounces around so bad and the mount is so bent that it is constantly banging on the swingarm.

It bounces and hits the ground at times. Really annoying.

I can bend the mounting part, but wonder if the spring is worn out and what to do. Do I get a stock spring? Aftermarket? Where?

I'd think you could find a replacement spring at a hardware store.

Mine was a combination of the pivot pin being worn, the connecting bolt also worn..and the spring being weenie.

Replace the fastener hardware, cut the spring, heat it up and bend a new hook to it.

Worked for me!!
