Well it had to happen
Now I know why the dealer dropped it and the transport company dropped it. I just took it for a good ride, everything fixed, get home, try to put side stand down to get off, bike goes forward and falls over, 1damaged fairing again.
After cooling down I had a closer look, the springs don't want to let side stand go fully forward, hence it goes forward and falls Any ideas out there?
Secondly speedo and gear indicator read true in kph, but the manual trip odometer is way slow, acting like its in miles covered, not kilometres as it should
Thanks for any help in advance!
