I just went out and started it up again and tested it both kickstand down and kickstand up and it runs fine once the kickstand is up... nice to know, had me a little worried at first... only had the bike 2 1/2 weeks... put about 250 miles on it now (for a total of 9980 miles now) so had me worried that I screwed something up on my way home
