Crystal.
Thanks for taking the effort to reply and removing the ambiguity of warranty when fitting a rear kick stand.
Common sense should tell you when it's being overloaded / strained, but sadly, that's short on the ground these days.
Mind you, if the ex climbed on my bike, that could well invalidate the warranty if you saw the state of her now.
I don't know if I'm luckier to own the RST or be shut of her - a close call!!
Have a good weekend y'all.
