Kickstand broken off, help please

[BryanMcc]

Went down on the left. Not very hard actually, and when I picked the bike up the kickstand was loose. It broke by the hole where the chain roller bolts to the frame along with the kickstand. Has anyone ever hard this happen to them and if so how did you fix it.

it's a common problem.
try to weld it back again
for a permanent solution try to alter the pivoting spot or reinforce the oem one
couple of threads here with alternatives

just weld it, I weld already my foot pegs on my old gasser adn it worked very well. The frame is made otu of something like 25CrMo4 (1.7218 or AISI4130) no mirical to weld.

Thanks guys. I was hoping I wouldn't have to weld it. I'll look for the threads for the relocation. On a different note, the chain roller broke off also, is that a big deal to not have?

well, it could and most probably will rub your frame...and that can't be good now can it

Just snapped off my mount where the roller bolt goes through but.......

the part of the frame that snapped off is gone. Probably out on the trail somewhere.

Any thoughts on how to replace the missing part of the frame?

I am guessing I can find another GasGas, draw a template of the bracket and have someone fabricate it?

Thanks

Heres what I found.. I bought the replacement part, but never bothered to install it. Just added a typical TMDesignworks lower chain guide and let it do its thing. Now I just have to find a tree to lean the bike against when I stop.

Very helpful, thank you.

So this leads me to ask: the roller behind the kickstand is not necessary?

I wouldn't ride without it. I think it would run the risk of the chain slapping down against the shifter and/or shaft. I rewelded the tab similar to n_green, but instead of installing the kickstand and bracket back between the tab and the frame, I just used a ball bearing roller. I'll take a pic this arv for you.
