  • My side stand has stopped flicking up on its own when I give it a nudge. Have to push it all the way up and several times have wondered why the bike won’t start (if I left it in gear) or stalls when changing to 1st, only to find the stand still has an inch to go before the sensor finds it.
    Started doing it overnight really. Can I just grease it? Or do I need to replace something? The spring looks to be fine

  • Probably just got some grit in it. Can you get someone to hold it upright while you work it back and forth with some lube?

  • I’ll see if my better half will lend a hand.
    Are stands themselves universal fitting other than specific length or would I need a specific model replacement should I replace it? For aesthetic reasons, not the mentioned problem above. It’s a little rusty.
