“My new 2006 Suzuki m109r with less than 200 miles on it just about fell over on me while it was on the kickstand. The person I was talking to said look out and I turned and saw the motorcycle beginning to lean over because the kickstand did not stay engaged.”

NHTSA complaint #10158789, filed 2006-06, 150 miles

“My 2006 Suzuki boulevard m109r motorcycle fell off of its kickstand while idling in neutral on my level driveway. The kickstand was fully extended when the incident occurred. I got off of the motorcycle after backing it out of the garage in order to close the garage door. I was approximately five (5) feet from the bike, closing the garage door (manually operated). I had the door half way down when I noticed that the motor just suddenly quit. I turned to find the bike laying on its side. …”
