sidestand wiggling?
my sidestand wiggles (see youtube video). some weeks ago a car toppled my Ninja 300 over while it was parked. the car hit the right side of the front wheel of my bike. the bike pivoted on the sidestand and the rear wheel and fell on the left side.
I can't remember if the sidestand wiggled that way before the fall or not, can you please tell me if it's normal by looking at yours? thanks! basically when you park it the sidestand adjusts to the weight of the bike by sliding a bit. |

It seems normal wear due to lack of regular lubrication plus lots of rain and dirt going into the pivot (note the faces of the center piece rounded rather than parallel and sharp).
I would say is normal and nothing to worry about.

Wow! I'll have to look at mine when I get off vacation. Looks like the hole may have been elongated.
