I am wondering if anyone has had any problems with a 696 kick stand, mine keeps getting loose, and so I have now broken 3 sensors :'(.  ?

Thanks for stopping today Dave  [thumbsup]

Sorry can't help Nic.  Maybe all that gravel riding is shaking it loose.  ;D  Have you posed the question on the main forum too? It's not something really basic like using spring washers and/or locktite is it?  (my two favourite quick fixes)

That's wierd. There is a 696 with ~9000Kms on it in my garage that has never had a problem with the kickstand. Havent heard about this being a common problem on anywhere else either.

I'm not familiar with the 696 stand,but I'd suggest you try some loctiteon the thread.

+1 on the Loctite. If that fails, however, my mechanical husband has a few other ideas for you. Just PM me.
Cheers and good luck,
Kaz.

Thanks all, we already had used loctite and yep heather i do not think that the dirt road  helps  [bang].  Had been checking the stand up until the last couple of rides >:(, the shop is sending me a new sensor and I will get the bike up there sometime soon for them to check it over, so this time we are using loctite again and have a nut to put on the back as well so fingers crossed this is that last time i have any problems, the poor girl she has only done 20 000ks and i plan on getting a LOT more out of her :)
