MAINTENANCE Sidestand Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move the sidestand to its stored (up) position, then to its fully extended (down) position, and back again. It should move smoothly and quietly. When the sidestand is in its stored position, the sidestand return spring should hold the sidestand tightly against the motorcycle. If the sidestand is bent, it should be replaced immediately. Caution Do not try to straighten a bent sidestand. The sidestand will be weakened, and may not be able to support the motorcycle.
