Author Message   Maxbuell Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 02:49 pm:        I need a new 1. what is the name of it? The rubber piece on the end of the kick stand that touches the ground when stand is down.. part #? avaliable?   Jramsey Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 02:56 pm:        #50179-96Y sidestand dragger.   Preybird1 Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 08:13 pm:        What is the purpose of the rubber thing? Does it help the kick stand from sinking in the soft stuff or is it a wear indicator for when you lean too far?   Spiderman Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 08:18 pm:        What is the purpose of the rubber thing? I have always wondered that too. I never bothered to ask the engineers LOL...   Spiderman Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 08:21 pm:        OK just asked. It was apparently a fall back safety feature to pop the kickstand up if left down...   Maxbuell Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 08:24 pm:        Thanks J   Court Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 08:54 pm:        It's a "flipper". Works great. Will save your ass. [   Jramsey Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 09:24 pm:        >>Works great... Only if the side stand switch is inoperative. (bypassed)AMHIK.   Court Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 09:55 pm:        Some of them did not have a side stand switch. The feds accepted the "flipper".   Spiderman Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2010 - 10:18 pm:        Not to mention a side stand switch failure   Preybird1 Posted on Monday, July 05, 2010 - 11:26 pm:        Oh well it doesn't work. I bypassed my kickstand switch. And i forgot the kickstand was down. I took off like a rocket and ill tell you what i pogo'ed a whole block! Scared the holly crap out of me! I must have bounced 4-5 times. Before i could get it stopped. I will never forget the kickstand now!!! If you want to feel like your riding a wild horse then leave it down and take off!   Cyclonemick Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 09:13 am:        Preybird1: I know the feeling! My "flipper also did not do it's job as I had a senario very similar to yours and also gave me quite a Pucker Moment! I ALWAYS Check it now (sometimes Twice for good measure)   Natexlh1000 Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - 04:40 pm:        I never allow my X1 to idle unattended. I never start it until I'm on it and geared up with the stand up! They can't be trusted to stay put on the stand!
