I have been having trouble with the kick stand on my 2nd gen. Very difficult at times to move it down mostly but sometimes back up also.
I put the bike up on my Carbon1 stand to work on it. It was totally dry at the fitting so some WD-40 added to loosen it up then some Molly grease as best I could everywhere.
My question is, at the knuckle with the bolt through it is there supposed to be play or is it supposed to be a snug fit between the bored holes and the bolt. When the stand is down I can get maybe an inch of play up and down on the stand. Is this ok or is it a sign that the bolt and or the bore is worn or wearing out?
Thanks much
