...and, strangely enough, i have the same problem. Originally my sidestand bracket broke, causing one of the bolts to break in the engine casing. I replaced the sidestand bracket, but it weas worn - this meant the stand leant forward too much, so the bike's leaning over further than the tower of Pisa and it's only a matter of time before that brackret/bolt/everything else breaks. Would anyone have a 996 sidestand bracket that's either new or s/h unworn? cheers in advance, jamess |
