Just picked up a 97S3T, and I love it. After fixing the usual leaks, and a few performance upgrades the bike is running great. The only issue I have now is that the kickstand hits the swingarm while riding. It's not hitting really hard just rubbing but its still annoying. I did a few searches here but could'nt find much info. The bike appears to never have been dropped and the bracket looks straight any ideas? Thanks in advance, JAMES | ||

Is the pivot just a little wobbly? My X1 comes close to touching. Perhaps the hole or pivot are just worn a little? | ||

Is the rubber bumper still there? | ||

I bought a lower profile bumper 'cause the stock one had me dragging the hell out of the stand in the corners. Don't remember how I found it. | ||

I ended up having to slice half of my bumper off to prevent scraping the stand on my S1 ... if you figure out where you got the smaller one Rick .. let me know. | ||

Thanks for all your responses. Went ahead and got a new rubber bumper today and it solved my problems. | ||

I found it. Buell part #L0166.9A SIDESTAND BUMPER, SHORT. Strange part...it has no fitment info but does the trick. |
