Stop your Busa from Falling Over
THIS SMALL MOD CAN SAVE YOU $THOUSAND$ IN BODY WORK AND PAINT.
The stock kickstand on 2009 Hayabusa's and up will slowly let your bike fall without warning. (Now I can only say a 2009 and up because I have owned a 2009 and now a 2011).
You can prevent this magical fall-over by modifying the kickstand with a Dremel rotary tool and a little patience (unless you have the plug-in powered Dremel which I suggest over the battery powered one).
How-to:
1. Remove the kickstand from the bike (Yes, you will need a stand)
2. All it takes is a small cutout in the top of the kickstand. This will let the stop go a few inches more to lock the kickstand in place. This prevents the kickstand from folding in on you, leaving you wondering what just happen (WTF)….
3. Replace your kickstand and enjoy!

It helped me out. Hope it does the same for you.
