| The stock configuration has the pivot pin inserted from below & a cotter pin put thru the end of the pivot pin at the top. With this arrangement, if the cotter pin wears out or breaks, the pivot pin will drop from the mount & may completely be lost, along with the kick stand. It's been suggested that the pivot pin should be inserted from the top with the cotter pin at the bottom, so if the cotter pin is gone, the pivot pin remains in the mount. However, in this arrangement, the cotter pin is exposed to the spring movement past the bottom of the pivot pin, which occurs whenever the kickstand is applied or retracted. It's your choice. | The stock configuration has the pivot pin inserted from below & a cotter pin put thru the end of the pivot pin at the top.
