Inspect Sidestand Pad - Victory Motorcycles 2009 Hammer Owner's Manual

Sidestand
Straddle the motorcycle and bring it to a vertical position. Move the sidestand to its stored (up) position, then to its
fully extended (down) position, and back again. It should move smoothly and quietly. When the sidestand is in its
stored position, the sidestand return spring should hold the sidestand tightly against the motorcycle.
If the sidestand is bent, it should be replaced immediately.
Notice Do not try to straighten a bent sidestand. The sidestand
will be weakened, and may not be able to support the
motorcycle.
