Yea, bad luck mate,I know how you feel
when i first got mine I stamped down on the centerstand and walked off, it bounced back off the back wheel and came off the stand and did the same damage but to the exhaust side(beforePM) Got it repaired no problem. I worry about the side stand when I use it, I've looked at grinding about a 1/4" out the stop, I think then it would pass over the center and then lock as a normal side stand does. Have a look and see if you think it would, it would also make the scoot slightly lean more.

Isle of Wight last year, shoved it on side stand, to pop in shop, it held till i was almost out of the shop, just in time for me to watch it hit the deck, bent my lever round and scratched the fook out of the panel.  |
