Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND filed April 14, 2010

NHTSA complaint #781385 (ODI reference 10325685) concerns a 2005 SUZUKI AN650 and was filed on April 14, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 11, 2010. The vehicle had 31,396 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Georgia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SUZUKI AN650 cohort independently describe similar structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 SUZUKI AN650 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

LAST SUNDAY I WAS PREPARING TO WASH MY SUZUKI BURGMAN SCOOTER. THE PROBLEM AROSE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE SCOOTER ONTO IT'S CENTER STAND. I WAS STANDING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCOOTER WITH MY LEFT HAND ON THE LEFT HANDLEBAR HAND GRIP AND MY RIGHT HAND ON THE PASSENGER GRAB HANDLE. WHEN I USED MY RIGHT FOOT TO DEPRESS THE LEVER THAT IS PART OF THE CENTER STAND AND IS USED TO ELEVATE THE SCOOTER ONTO THE CENTER STAND THE SCOOTER SLOWLY FELL AWAY FROM ME ONTO IT'S RIGHT SIDE CAUSING THE RIGHT HAND MIRROR, THE RIGHT HAND GRIP AND THE MUFFLER COVERS TO BECOME SCRATCHED AND DAMAGED. HAD THE SCOOTER FALLEN TOWARDS ME, OR IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN STANDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCOOTER, INJURY COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE CENTER STAND LEVER I NOTED THAT IT , ALONG WITH THE LEFTHAND SIDE OF THE CENTER STAND HAD BROKEN ENTIRELY AWAY FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE CENTER STAND. THIS BREAKAGE CAUSED THE SCOOTER TO FALL. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THE CENTER STAND HAS FAILED ON
