Title: People 50S Kickstand Spring
Post by: Clifhirtle on December 10, 2013, 05:36:14 AM

The springs allowing my People 50S to keep its kickstand up popped off the hooks between the frame and the kickstand. They appear to be a double springed (1 inside the other) layout. I tried pulling with a set of vice grips to hook back around the spring mount points but that's one tight spring set!

Anyone have any suggestions or experience in reattaching a spring that popped off the the kickstand? I've temporarily bungee-corded the kickstand up to the scoot but that's not a long term solution by any means.

You'll get more leverage with a spring puller.

Is that something they sell at a hardware store or a custom moto tool?
