I wasn't able to find the thread, but I thought I read somewhere that someone had found a company that was able to repair the electric motor that actuates the hydraulic cylinder for the 2005+ LT's. I live in Canada, and I don't really care what part of the planet I have to ship this thing to. I've got a new one ordered, but I want this one repaired as a backup.
After my spill awhile ago, it's just easier to mount and dismount using the center stand, plus the fact that I absolutely do not trust that side stand. Both the LT's I had scared the bejubus out of me with the amount of spring the sidestand has. Anytime I'm forced to use it, I keep waiting for it to finally snap. I've watched in horror as medium winds get that bike rocking on the sidestand.
I know you cannot order the parts from BMW, I've been down that road, or I'd fix it myself. I have searched for a week and could not find anywhere in this city of a million people that would touch that thing with a 10 foot pole. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!
