No warranty? Seems like a odd thing to break.I had planned to ride this evening to meet friends for Dune 2 (wicked film btw).
Lo and behold the kickstand spring had snapped! $80 for a new one, oy.
Me thinks keeping a zip tie or 2 handy will be the plan going forward.
I'm sure you know that its easier to fork out $80 for some twisted metal now than a lot more $$$ when you accidently lay it down while trying to slide the zip tie off.I had planned to ride this evening to meet friends for Dune 2 (wicked film btw).

If i can have a spring break in the first 500km, something quick & cheap to get me home may be in order..I'm sure you know that its easier to fork out $80 for some twisted metal now than a lot more $$$ when you accidently lay it down while trying to slide the zip tie off.
Oakville allegedly has this in stock, I'll be calling when they open.I just threw a pack of mini bungees I'd found kicking around in the garage into the top box on my bike a few days ago - wasn't quite sure what I'd use them for, was kinda thinking they might come in handy in some way during the James Bay ride this summer, but they'd actualy work pretty awesome for a kickstand spring failure - rigged up right they'd hold the kickstand up, but also stretch to allow it to go down when needed.
And I thought my goal of 100,000km on my V-Strom since 2018 was impressive. Only 16k to go. Then I will have another 100k to catch up to you lolInrode a bit today, Did about 430 km. Southside of Rice Lake (photos at Harwood) Campbellford Shannonville, Napanee, etc.
My 2020 V-Strom DL1050 turned over 200,000 km while riding today. (I bought it new and first ride as July 1, 2020.)

So in the end i hit Canadian Tire for some mini bungees, as Oakville location was closed and the weather looks meh for the next 2 days. While at the Tire I decided to look for springs on a whim. Found a box of Trampoline springs that was roughly the same length as stock. Took 2 minutes to attach it, back in business.Oakville allegedly has this in stock, I'll be calling when they open.
Otherwise a mini bungee was in the back of my mind as well.
