Has anyone changed the bush on the side stand yet, if so was it a straight forward job ?
I always mount and dismount cowboy style since I damaged my ankle, as I find it so much easier. The bike refuses to start sometimes when I flick the side stand up, usually when I first try to go, I flick the side stand up and down a few times and then it starts, but later in the ride starts ok first push of the starter.
I'm wondering if by mounting the way I do, it is wearing the bush on the stand and affecting the cut out switch somehow. I have cleaned the contacts on the switch, but its still acting up on first start up.
Any thoughts good or bad please ?
