evening all,

twice now i've dropped the GSA in my garage just moving it about ( no damage thankfully )

it seems that the side stand is very prone to moving back with the slightest of touches or the gentlest of brushes with the floor,
these touches / brushes are so light you don't realise what's happened until you try and put the bike on the stand and over she goes.

is there a way to tighten the pivot or would new springs help ?
 
I’m 6’1” and have the BMI of an 1150 Adventure :augie but I still check and double check the side stand when I move the bike around. I never put it on the side stand without tapping it forward with my boot.
 
i would do that as well but both times it's happened i've been sitting astride it.
 
A new pivot bush and bolt helps but I always left mine in gear.
