1200 2013-1200s - Sidestand

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Stavrich, Feb 29, 2016.

  1. New to Ducati Multistrada 1200S.

    I just noticed that the sidestand does not "spring" in to the down position. It needs to be pushed a lot forward before it locks to the down position and I seem to run out of leg stretch :smiley:.

    Also it seems that the springs are too weak

    Is this normal ?
     
  2. Mine does that too. However, this is one of the places that collects grime and mud. So cleaning it and greasing it regularly does have a quite dramatic effect to the way it is extended/retracted. When it's clean it retracts with a spring action. If it's not, I need to retract it all the way up with my boot.
