Ducati offered a replacement for the earlier kick stands. The foot were too small and caused to bike to tip. Check eBay for a replacement.

This is usually because the rear suspension has been jacked up too far instead of getting a suspension jack up kit. Or a sloping car park.

Location of lean angle cut off switch

Depending on the make/model of your bike, there might be a "kickstand" switch (which prevents you riding off with your kickstand down) sometimes this can be faulty (or broken from a fall over) and prevent the bike from starting. I would check (bypass the switch) usually located near where the kickstand attaches to the frame, to see if the bike starts with the switch bypassed. If it does, replace (or remove) the switch. Depending on which side the bike fell, you might have damaged the kill switch (generally located on the right bar/clip-on). Basically carefully inspect the side of the bike that it fell on, look for any obvious signs of damage and then meticulously inspect that area for loose/broken wires/connectors. Do all the lights, instrument panel light up when the key is turned on? Check the battery connections. There are numerous possibilities, but use standard troubleshooting methodologies and you should be able to find or narrow down the problem. For future reference I think you were probably referring to the kickstand switch as opposed to to a "lean angle cut off" switch, which would be very dangerous to have on a motorcycle. Anyway, if you want/need more help. Post some more details such as; make/model/year, side it fell on, do the electrics (lights, turn signals, brake light, speedometer, tach etc.) work (or which don't & under what circumstances), does the started motor turn etc. etc. etc. Good luck.

2004 ACCORD WONT START, BATTERY CHANGED AND STILL

the oil may be frozen? the bussing could be the noise that the starter motor makes when it either has no voltage or is not strong enough to turn the engine... keep the engine warm and change the oil, it could be seized and might take alot more work tho

No spark at plugs when cranking over

Sounds a lot like a failing battery. The starter's pulling enough power that you aren't getting spark. You could try using jumper cables from a car battery, see if you get spark when cranking. Be careful! It's way easy to short stuff out with those jumpers.

How to put spring back on kickstand 2004 1200 sportster

There is a place on the frame and a place on the kickstand for each end of the spring to connect to. With the bike on the kickstand and someone to help steady the bike, use a pair of side cut pliers or a very strong spring hook to pull the spring and rconnect it to the kickstand.

If you can't get it this way, remove the pivot bolt, connect both ends in their proper positions and work the kickstand back into position so the pivot bolt will go back in.

It's tough but it can be done.
