	Tl*the contact owns a 2006 buell xb12s. while driving various speeds up to 130 mph, the kickstand almost detached from the vehicle. when riding around curves, the kickstand protruded and nearly caused a crash. the contact was able to ride the vehicle to his residence and, when he propped up the vehicle with the kickstand, it fell forward. the dealer retorched the bolts, however, the contact believes this was done improperly because they did not lock the bolts tightly. the current mileage was 4,200 and failure mileage was 3,800.
