Stopped the other day on the side of the road to park for a bit and look at my phone and when I looked down for the side stand I saw the center stand hanging oddly. I pushed it down with my heel and it fell to the ground!
Both mounting screws had sheared off and it was hanging by the springs. I had taken it off the stand at a gas station where I had stopped to go in and get some Fritos and a Mexican coca cola as well as fuel.
From the time I took it off the stand and saw it hanging was less than two miles on surface streets. No bottoming out or any sounds that I can recall.
Anyway, I confirmed both screws had sheered right where they enter the pivot pin. Weird. Wondering whether my method of sitting on the bike and rocking back first to get momentum for getting it off the stand contributed to this.
