 Parked my 2004 kawasaki vulcan 750 on a flat concrete surface. got off and was about two steps away when it rolled forward and fell off of the kickstand, causing minor damage to the vehicle. did some testing and it takes about 20lbs of forward pressure to cause the vehicle to roll forward and off the kickstand. also tested my older mc, an 81 yamaha 650, and it takes about 60lbs of forward force before it rolls off the kickstand. a small child could easily push this kawasaki enough to cause it to fall. i think the kickstand needs some modification to increase the force needed to cause the vehicle to fall. the model in the vehicle section is incorrect. your website did not have an option for a vn750-a20. *jb
