arg! my scooter fell over..........

Post by rsrider »

seriously, wtf? the kick stand was properly down and a big truck rolls by and the scooter falls over. Rashed the hell out of the top box, and rashed the left passenger foot rest area pretty good as well. the brake lever also lost some paint. unreal...........

Kick stand and not the center stand? I never trust that thing unless I am standing next to the bike.

it happened to me, Buddy Love. It fell over and snapped my brake lever.
If you use the side stand, the front wheel should be uphill of the back wheel. Other wise. it can roll and collapse the side stand.

Dude you should never trust the kick stand. Always use the center stand.....

My scoot fell from a massive gust of wind on the center stand! Thankfully it fell on the side I dropped it so I'm not sure if there was any damage lol. I put big rocks on either side of the wheels now!
