My 2019 Roadmaster seems to tip quite a bit on the level. I have checked the bolt and to see if anything is cracked. Is there a shoulder bolt that mounts the stand that could be worn out? Any suggestions on how to make the bike more upright? Can a person shim the kick stand some way? Thanks for any comments.
The 2014 models had a problem with the sidestand cracking. Look for a hairline crack about an inch below the bolt. Mine was replaced under warranty after 3 or 4 years, with the new design. Should not be an issue on a 2019.
My 2018 was that way. The slot on the mount end of the stand was spread out farther than it should’ve been. Even with the bolt tight, it didn’t tighten the slot. I put the slotted end in my vice and squeezed it together until it fit tight over the mount. Upon screwing the bolt in to tighten, the was about 40 thousands of an inch between the bolt head and stand slot. So I found a washer that fit perfectly over the shoulder and was 42 thousands thick. Putting the washer over the shoulder of the bolt, then sliding the stand over the mount, I was able to tighten the bolt till it actually got tight. It also made the stand tight, but a little grease was all it took. Been over a month. Stand it still tight and works great. And also stands up straighter too.
