Hello, I just recently joined this group to see if anyone can help with my problem. Flipped my kickstand up on my 2012 TE511 and the head of the pin which holds the kickstand spring broke off. It looks like all associated pieces for this are welded on. Is there and after market kickstand I can get that would not need this pin, or is my only option to break out the buzz box? Thank you.
I don't have a pic, but on my WR there is a bolt with nuts on either side of the kickstand bracket securing it in place; the head of the bolt acts like head of the pin you are missing.
Had this happen on a different model. I drilled a hole directly into the centre of the stub, then tapped about an M6 or M8 hole for a bolt. Using a SS bolt nuts and washers you can make it solid and look tidy.
Sorry it took so long for me to post this but I fixed the problem with duggoey advice. Here is the finished result, I think it looks good. Went with the m6 bolt.
