I had a hard time at first getting the spring on until I watch this video. Thank you.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

No problem, glad I could help!

[@rudderlaw]

A giant help. I was lying under the bike for an hour just stumped about how to get the spring where it belonged and the kickstand back together. Gave up and went back to the computer and watched this video. Bingo! Put it together in five minutes, easy-peasy! Thanks, Joe, you're the best!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

No problem at all! It’s such an easy job….after you figure it out 😂 I was in your shoes so that’s why I made this video. Glad I could help!

[@tomvail6207]

Great job Joe! Simple and to the point, thanks.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

No problem Tom! Thank you!

[@CM13FTW]

Error? When Ever i see one of your videos, you keep it simple, thumbs up... Forgot the proper position of spring install. I KNOW , that on the leg hole, its the Opposite entry of way you did it. The hook end of spring faces the rear. They say it makes a difference ware , tention who knows. But when I put it wrong, as you did. I get a load squeak spring sound. So I correct it, sound is still there, but not as loud. So woundering it entry of end hook to the hole on mounting bracket makes a differencd. Gonna switch againg right now, cuz I dont see anything on inner connetion point . Thanks for the vids keep them filming.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

@@CM13FTW thank you! I still haven’t had an issue with it being installed the way I did it. If I have to replace it again, I will install it the other way and see what happens. Thanks for watching

[@kd8309]

Thanks Joe! Mine came off last night and luckily I just have to reinstall it. This will make it very easy.

[@IRONTOSS]

Good simple video, of course nothing I mean nothing ever goes the same when i have to do it, kickstand would not drop out as far as yours did so i needed to needle nose pliers to bend the spring hook to get it off but everything else was simple enough. thanks!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Usually happens to me as well when I KZbin something 😂 Glad I was able to help!

[@terryclay6668]

Thanks, I dropped my Softail the in my driveway, the spring came off, I was rolling backwards slowly down to turn into the garage. The incline I was also pitching to my right, the bike was pushing me over, down I go. No damage, just a little embarrassed, thank goodness for bag and crash bars. A lot easier fix seeing it done.👍

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Sorry to hear that happened. But, it happens! Glad I was able to help. Appreciate you watching and leaving g your feedback!

[@wunique1376]

Great video. What kind of grease did you put @ 1:29?

[@RodKrisBisdakMotovlog]

That's absolutely great and awesome tips bro. Keep it up and more vidz to come brother

[@jameswilliams1111]

I got a funny story about my kickstand spring on my 1997 fatboy. The spring broke and I went to a local dealer for the spring, and they had one. The part guy asked if I needed a hand putting it on . I said yes well we get it on in about a minute. So the spring was only 30.00 and the speeding ticket was 127.00 that I got on the was home. I was doing 70 in a 50 but the cop was cool and wrote the ticket for disobeying a traffic signal. And i just had to pay a fine no points. But i was so happy that my bike was fixed.The video was awesome. Thanks for the information.

No problem Will. I'm glad I could help! I appreciate you watching and subscribing!

[@RidingandWrenching]

You left off the part where Cue whipped Chuck in the slow speed contest causing the kickstand to fail!

[@PitbullSoco]

You put the spring in backwards on the jiffy stand leg. Some dont think it matters but it definitely does

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I don't believe I did. Still works perfect. It wouldn't of worked any other way on my bike 🤷

[@naturelover6718]

I noticed that immediately.

[@tomb.8485]

I saw that also, but I was kind of expecting that as he does call it a kickstand and they is a definite difference between the two. There was also a patent put on the Jiffy Stand.

[@johney4484]

Is there a torque value on that bolt for the kickstand?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I’m sure there is. You can probably find it in your service manual. I just snugged it up.

Thanks bro 🤘😎

[@akflyer129]

The spring was originally hooked to the stand on the front of the stand. But when you re-installed the spring you hooked it on the rear of the jiffystand. It will still work but I just watched a Ryan Urlacher video. He stated that hooking on from the back is incorrect. It appears that the factory hooks the spring on from the front of the jiffystand. Just sayin.....You didnt re-install the spring the same way it was when you first took it off.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks for your feedback. It worked for me and is still working 7 months later. I'm not saying this in a snarky way. In my opinion, I don't think it really matters. Thanks for watching and pointing that out!

[@akflyer129]

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures Roger that. Still a great video tho.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Appreciate it!

[@rickwaldron4255]

My harley is 50 years old I'm not going to fool around

[@barneysomers8871]

You say that it doesn't matter but in reality it does. Sure, it will function either way. When installed incorrectly, the spring will rub on the leg. This will lead to rust, and premature failure long term. Depending on the environment (coastal salt air, northern road salt), 7 months is hardly enough time to pass judgement on long term reliability.

[@rogermayer5899]

Saved me a lot of aggravation thank you

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

You're welcome. I went through the aggravation so I figured I'd make a video 😂

[@TecunLegion]

20 second install. I fkn love you!!!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

😂 glad I could help!

[@rickwaldron4255]

On a 50 yerar old harley im.not foolin around when ot stars saging a bit replace it right away

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I hear ya! Probably better to just replace it before it goes!

[@rickwaldron4255]

I've learned pretty quickly when the kick stand starts to sag a bit don't dick around replace it right away..if yhe spring comes off while driveing and you turn left and Don know your kick stand has dropped straight down look out for 15 dollars it's not worth damaging your ride.or gettin knocked on your ass

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Totally agree! Replace it before it causes a problem!

[@tomb.8485]

Happened to my buddy on a Triumph. Kickstand came down during a left turn. Wasn't going fast and he slid on his back. All good until he came to an abrupt stop when his helmetless head came into contact with a mailbox post.

[@_brockn_]

You placed the spring hook on the wrong side of the side stand.

[@ammalvonnostrand2935]

You guys always make this simple task way harder than it truly is. Put the stand UP, put one spring hook on the stand, place the other spring hook onto the shaft of a long Phillips screwdriver and the driver tip onto the peg for the spring. Now pull the driver against the peg and the hook will slide across the driver and snap onto the peg. A 30 second fix.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Or you can do it this way. Either way, completes the same task. Less likely to bust your knuckle this way. To each thier own

[@tomb.8485]

Disagree with you. How hard is it to remove one short bolt? You don't fight with the spring and gives you a chance to grease the pivot point.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Exactly 💯 😎

[@kyleviratos1400]

There’s a much easier way taking less than 30 seconds only using vice grips not taking anything apart

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

@@kyleviratos1400 nice. Good to know. Appreciate ya watching!
