2009 Grandvista side stand scraping
« on: February 23, 2018, 02:43:27 PM »
i took the Grandvista for a run the other day as the weather was summer like on the noth east coast.  On my ride as I was going around a left hand curve my side stand scraped the road.   I really didn't think I was leaned over that much to have that as an issue .  Has anyone else had this experience.   After parking it and looking at the side stand and the the down and up stops on the mount it looks like there is some room left where I could grind the tab so that the stand would be just a little higher while riding.  Has anyone done this or come up with another solution?  Would this modification mess up the kick stand kill switch function?

Check the shock absorber spring preload.  I found if it is not set to the hardest setting then the scooter will hit when cornering very easily.
