If something doesn't feel right (i.e. that clunk whenever you hit the rear brake pedal) it probably isn't. Trust yer gut.

As of last night comming home from work, it is still hard to turn left with the side stand down.

And when you stop and forget to put it down and knock your wife and her bike over, pick up the wife first, not the bike.

My buddy left his down,we were approaching a right bender at 45 or so...but when i tried to catch him he throttled up as well.:laugh: ...needless to say i decided to drop way back.The stand hit the ground,but just folded back.I guess it wasn't fully down thank god.
