I am wondering if anyone has had any problems with a 696 kick stand, mine keeps getting loose, and so I have now broken 3 sensors .  ?

Thanks for stopping today Dave

Sorry can't help Nic.  Maybe all that gravel riding is shaking it loose.    Have you posed the question on the main forum too? It's not something really basic like using spring washers and/or locktite is it?  (my two favourite quick fixes)

That's wierd. There is a 696 with ~9000Kms on it in my garage that has never had a problem with the kickstand. Havent heard about this being a common problem on anywhere else either.

I'm not familiar with the 696 stand,but I'd suggest you try some loctiteon the thread.

+1 on the Loctite. If that fails, however, my mechanical husband has a few other ideas for you. Just PM me.
Cheers and good luck,

Thanks all, we already had used loctite and yep heather i do not think that the dirt road  helps  .  Had been checking the stand up until the last couple of rides , the shop is sending me a new sensor and I will get the bike up there sometime soon for them to check it over, so this time we are using loctite again and have a nut to put on the back as well so fingers crossed this is that last time i have any problems, the poor girl she has only done 20 000ks and i plan on getting a LOT more out of her .
