This was a helpful post. My k75 side stand gives me worries.  The hockey puck under the foot idea is interesting, but not if it masks a member in the side stand or joint. That are wearing to a point of failure.

My thought on the puck is a plate with a catch for the foot that will slide out and in but not slip off the plate once captured.  So, a horseshoe shaped keeper on a 4” square piece of metal plate.  Someone has made one of these no doubt.  Cheers.

Hmm - Test worked but couldn't see it on preview.

I used to have a mate who used to carry a 5-6"x 1" thick slab of form ply to level his bike and stop it sinking. It was attach to a piece of cord so he could retrieve it while still on soft ground. He would store it once on firm ground.

My Side Stand is also on a suicide spring which fry's up as soon as you take the weight off it. Damn difficult to get it down while sitting on the bike. I normally use the main stand as a result balancing the bike upright while I swing my leg over.

That’s a winner, just as I envisioned it only rubber.  Now reminds me of the covers that come with clamps to protect the finish of the object squeezed...

Thanks Johnnie, happy Thanksgiving sir!

It can be changed but then you'll need to remember to retract it.
