The spacer must be wider then the kickstand to maintain bolt torque. When new I removed a small amount of material from frame side of kickstand at spacer area. No problems for over a year. But don't let the stand sink in the mud and fall over you will snap the bolt. The EE stand foot helps with that.

The older KTM`s had the same issue, thats why Pro Moto Billet kick stands exist. My 05 KTM 525 kick stand lasted 5 rides and the I put the PMB on. Never had another issue. The only problem is that PMB does not make one for a GasGas.

first two times mine came loose I loctited th bolt in a just slightly loose position to allow th stand to operate freely.both times loose after a ride or two.last time I actually nipped it up so th bolt was a little tight slightly pinching th stand and loctited th crap out of it.it hasn't come loose for 20 or so rides now.stand drags when operated but on th plus side it doesn't self retract into ur shin.the design problem is th bolt lacks support on th frontside so rocks in th thread,working loose,allowing stand to slide outwards on bolt thread.even a mm gap at back of stand increases th leverage on th bolt eventually bending it(like bending steel rod in a vise its hard to bend right at vise,but easier further out).my thinking was that th bolt has to be tight all th time to prevent th rocking.so far its working, albeit with quite a stiff stand action(maybe it will wear loose and leav th bolt tight?yeah right).th only proper fix is an outer flange welded to frame(aargh!yikes!)that supports th bolt head and allowing th bolt to be held true and properly tight while th stand is free to move.th stand head is also too small and sinks at th hint of soft ground.small metal lid off pasta sauce about 2in rnd under foot is handy conversation starter.fits in ur pocket.mind th self retract tho,or it will flick it 20yds behind u past ur m8's face.

I agree with bergerhag. The 14' kickstand bolt looks like it should mount right up. It looks like you should be able to just drill and tap the threads to 10mm and use the 14' pivot bolt. I am going to order some up, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I would deffinately recommend red locktiting the threads on the pivot bolt.

Let us know! I can confirm that using a small headed bolt or taking material off the stand so that the bolt contacts the bushing only, works. Been riding all summer like this and with loctite it has yet to work loose. Since it's not coming loose there is pressure on the bolt so it hasn't bent yet either. This is the 3rd bolt in 6 months so Its going strong!
