Ok, I posted this once before and neglected to check the responses so now I have a SERIOUS lean on my bike w/ only 550 miles on it. What can I do to get my bike to sit normally as the lean is wicked low to the ground. HELP! I have a 2007 XB9R so anyone who can help I would greatly appreciate it. | ||

When the bolts that hold the side stand bracket to the engine come loose, It allows the bike to lean waaay over. Just re-tighten the bolts. | ||

And if that doesn't work... Warranty!!!! | ||

the HD shop here on Guam did nothing to fix it, they simply moved my clutch lever up. These guys here are worthless. HELP. There was someone who gave a detailed description of how to fix this, are u still out there? | ||

Might have been me. I only have time for the short version this morning. Buy 2 grade 8, 5/16 X 18 washer head bolts that are 1-1/4" long. Remove the kikstand and discard the stock bolts. Machine the surface of the kikstand AND the surface of the engine that it mates to with a flat file. Make them both as flat as you can. Put lotsa blue locktite on the bolts and assemble it all together. Make em tite but don't strip the threads. Let it sit overnite and forgetaboutit! | ||

One of my sidestand bolts sheared off so now i only have 1 left! I took it to the HD shop on Saturday but they said they were too busy to do it so i'll bring it back to them tomorrow. I think they'll have to end up drilling out the bolt and helicoling a larger bolt in its place! |
