Triumph Kickstand Spring Failure (Speed Twin 1200)

[@krie2375]

Hey man I'm glad it was something minor. These engines are tanks from my understanding. I'll definitely check that spring more often now

Ya - I lost power, and then the oil pressure light came on (so I thought it was engine failure)... so ya, I'm stoked it turned out to be something minor. The spring must have just snapped because I was just driving on a straight road with no bumps or anything.

Its a recall for spring I'm reading online .in uk. Apparently they fit new spring with a shroud round it . Check online .👍

[@t3h8ar0n]

Oh shit - good lookin out. I don't remember looking at the old one, but the replacement I got is a double spring with a black shroud around it.

How you tie kick stand up and hold bike up at the same time?

[@t3h8ar0n]

@user-fv1576 I knelt next to it and leaned my left should/body against it... it was not easy lol...

I had a brain fart in a parking lot. Started the bike and everytime i put it in gear ,it would die... Eventually i looked down and saw the kickstand down . Technology... 😠
