Side stand

[cip]

Hi all,

Time for a few more newbie questions.
The sidestand is a little loose. When fully extended it will move a couple of centimeters side to side (perpendicular to the plane of rotation).
I've checked the bolt and it's tight.
Is this normal ?

Cip,

Cip,

It is the newness wearing out of it. Most bikes I've owned do that after they have gotten a few years old.

The bike is only new for me, otherwise is 9 years old.
The question is, should I do something about it, or just ignore it ?

I'd ignore it myself.

Might be worth taking the bolt out and check it has not stretched, but as Yen says probably ok to ignore it.

I have 2 @s and the both have this sidestand thingy you mention. Ignore it.
