2002 kickstand
azdirtrider75:
thanks gwcrim,
Yea, I haven't found much for the 99-02 chasis. I've seen some kickstands that mount on the swing arm, just behind the chain rub plate, but I'm leery, worried of the quality, location (chain), etc. Have you or anyone you know used this type? How do they work?
gwcrim:
I used a swingarm stand on my 89 500 and there's one on our 03 85. They are OK, just not what I'm used to. Quality is good. But the springs on the 85 continually broke. I finally put a spring on it from (of all things) a trampoline. Works great now. I think it may have to do with the frequency of the vibrations on the 85. Who knows.
I may just go that route with this bike. They do work. But I want to investigate my options.

My ZX12R has a hose around the spring to keep it from vibrating. At least I think that is why they used the hose. :?
azdirtrider75:
I'll keep looking around; I'd rather not use the swing arm clamp type but may need to. Then again, I've been riding this bike for 15 months without a kickstand, I've just been leaning it in a tree or against a saguaro cactus :mrgreen:

Once you get a kickstand, you'll wonder how you ever lived w/out it.
