Loose Kickstand Spring
This is my second spring on my 2003 Deuce. Works for about 2 days and now the kickstand hangs loosely below bike an inch or 2, occasionally dragging on left turns.
What's the deal here? Are there better aftermarket springs? Springless stand? Thanks

Whats the deal with your kickstand? It seems like something is worn out letting it hang down loosely. It doesn't sound like a spring problem, but a mount problem.

It sounds like the attachment hole on the kickstand arm is worn or slotted and lets the arm dangle. Check both attachment holes for wear.

That's one thing I hadn't thought of yet. Any chance you know the part number for a new catch? Thanks for everybody's replies.

It should be 50015-74A but check with your local dealer.
