Weakest link in the chain! Suxuki should be ashamed of this defective sidestand! I did the mod to my k8 but am always paranoid about where I park the bike, keeping it in gear and testing the stability before I walk away. Cost me near $80 for a clutch lever and $40 for a footrest. I understand your distress and think Suzuki should have done a recall on gen 11 bikes to fix the sidestand!
