What is the purpose of the rubber thing? Does it help the kick stand from sinking in the soft stuff or is it a wear indicator for when you lean too far? |

What is the purpose of the rubber thing? I have always wondered that too. I never bothered to ask the engineers LOL... |

OK just asked. It was apparently a fall back safety feature to pop the kickstand up if left down... |

Some of them did not have a side stand switch. The feds accepted the "flipper". |

Oh well it doesn't work. I bypassed my kickstand switch. And i forgot the kickstand was down. I took off like a rocket and ill tell you what i pogo'ed a whole block! Scared the holly crap out of me! I must have bounced 4-5 times. Before i could get it stopped. I will never forget the kickstand now!!! If you want to feel like your riding a wild horse then leave it down and take off! |

Preybird1: I know the feeling! My "flipper also did not do it's job as I had a senario very similar to yours and also gave me quite a Pucker Moment! I ALWAYS Check it now (sometimes Twice for good measure) |

I never allow my X1 to idle unattended. I never start it until I'm on it and geared up with the stand up! They can't be trusted to stay put on the stand! |
