Fortunately, everything stayed attached - including the wimpy portion of the tab that broke off. A question for you Longboardr; I cannot tell from the image where that bracket you created mounts to the frame? Did you drill/tap somewhere on the inside of the frame near the foot peg? I'm going to need to enlist the help of a friend that knows welding, so want to try and explain it as best as possible. Thanks for any additional insight. |

This isn't just a problem isolated to the Gasser's. Riding behind a friends TE250 I watched his kick stand and mount fly off into the forest. Having a kick stand is a bonus, I take mine off. The terrain and riding is to tough on them. And that's for any off-road specific machine.

I agree, and because of that specific requirement, I believe forethought should be put into the design to encompass this. Not trying to stir up anything, just my experience thus far. For what it's worth, 107 hours of the same type of riding on my other bike with a kickstand and never an issue.
Anyway, just want to get it fixed so I'm back on the trail |

Kickstands are nice to have, but it shouldn't keep you from riding.

I have a buddy that offered to help weld a piece together like Longboardr created - just need to figure out where he mounted it. |

Copy that. From the red frame I thought you had a later 12 or 13, but the pic of the broken bits shows you have an 11', correct? Yeah, I wouldn't ride either until it was welded back on. My wife's mount broke on hers also, welding it hasn't been a problem so far.

I don't have any dimensions for the part because it's basically a custom fit. The angle iron was 1/8" thick. You won't want to go any thicker than that because there's not a lot of room and you'll be shortening the chain roller tubing an 1/8" to make up for the thickness of the angle iron so you can get the bolt started (the linkage is in the way otherwise). You'll have to put the angle iron in place on the bike then mark where the break is on it and where you'll need to drill the hole and weld on the piece that makes up for what broke off your bike. The piece that was welded onto the angle iron was ground down to the same thickness as the piece that originally broke off the bike. If you're still having trouble envisioning it I suggest you make a mock up piece out of cardboard and go spend some quality time with the bike Original image Red added where the angle iron is since everything is the color of dirt and it's hard to see. The angle is going behind the frame.

Don't think I'll be able to get this coordinated with my buddy over Turkey Day weekend, but hopefully the weekend after that. Thanks again Longboardr! |

Just tack a bit of steel on where the old bracket was. Drill a hole and mount a standard chain roller or you can mount the bracket back on. When mine crapped out I lost/broke the bracket which cost a few coins. I have the new one on the ready but have never bothered to replace it, as others have said, they just get beat up.
I know mine broke from pulling too hard on the bike when on the stand looking for firm ground. I don't think its engined for much more than holding the resting bike. Any other weights or forces bring the start of the end (and this applies to more than just gassers). |
