  • 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

  • Just use a bottle of Teflon spray (don't spray onto tyres etc though...).

    Spray generously then work it back and forwards. Do it again and again until it's free moving.

    Riding around in winter will do this; just needs a bit of regular maintenance.
