That may give the side stand too much leverage on the weld and causing it to break. Wadayothink?

I find that when I'm standing up often I am standing on the side weld for the stand....Gonna go take a look tomorrow.

The Number for the Kawasaki Customer Service is (949)460-5688, then follow the prompts to the customer service reps. Going to call me dealership tomorrow to see if the frame was shipped to them. According to Kawasaki it was shipped from So. California on Thursday, so it should be up here (Northern Calif.) today and at the latest tomorrow. Can't wait to hear what they say.
