Loctite your kick stand bolt

[little_wing]

hey all. today during my ride I also lost my kickstand and bolt and spring.
the bolt vibrated lose I guess.
I went to put the bike on its kick stand and I noticed that the spring was catching on the bolt, I did not remember that happening before so I looked closer at it and I noticed the bolt was almost all the way out. I was able to remove the bolt with my fingers so I did that and took the kickstand off until I got back to the truck.
Loctite and torqued to spec... should be good now

I had no luck with locktite still got loose. Safety wire it and be done with it.
Drilled a small hole in the bolt then wired to spring bolt.

I was noticing that my bike was leaning over a bit too far with the kickstand down. It was very loose where it clamps to the frame -probably from using it as a pivot to spin my bike around on the trails. I squeezed it back together in a vise and now leans better. Hopefully didn't affect the metallic integrity too much ...
