I have a 2008 Honda Metropolitan*Base scooter and the kick stand won't go back up. I tried everything to fix and it doesn't want to go up. I don't know what's wrong with it. Does anyone know what's wrong and/or how to fix it?
does it have a lock down feature, a push in and flick up type of thing? otherwise it's probably siezed and needs a little lubrication. Failing that unclip the spring & undo the pivot bolt to remove and inspect. [Rightey tightey, Lefty loosey]
I'm so glad I found this thread! I was having the same problem, and couldn't for the life of me figure it out. I thought maybe the stand got rusted and sprayed WD40 on it, but it still wouldn't go up. Then I looked inside the seat and found the yellow lever had been moved. Pushed it into the locked position, and the Metro came down from its stand. I felt like such an utter doofus. xD
