| Side stand... Just wondering if any of you lot have encountered this. After jacking up the ride height a bit the ST tends to lean over a fair bit now. On a short trip last week I parked the bike up and wasn't happy with the severe lean, so used the centre stand. When I flicked the side stand up though I noticed its bracket move. It seems that the mounting bolts are wound fully in and tight, but have bottomed out on their threads with the bracket still loose.  Also, I know the 996/8 bikes had a tendency to break their alloy side stands, or in sever circumstances break the actual mounting bracket. Anyone heard of this happening on an ST ? ~800 miles in and she's already finding me little jobs to do   |
