I've been struggling to get my new bursig stand setup for my 2015 BMW S1000R. My problem is the bike starts sliding off the top pin as soon as you start lifting it. It's roughly a 1/4 inch when you first lift it. After rolling it into my garage and letting it sit for 5 minutes, it had doubled to 1/2 inch gap. Not a good feeling.

In trying to get it adjusted, the lower pin is completely loose so there's no weight on it. While on the ground, the bike is leaning slightly into the stand, and there's no gap on the top pin. The stand legs on the right side of the bike are off the ground as the bike is pushing left on the stand. As soon as you straight it out and start lifting, it wants to slide.

**SOLVED**
Patrick at BursigUSA was able to chat with HQ in Germany and figured out that the original info they got on the S1000RR and S1000R sleeves being the same, was wrong.

I received a replacement S1000R sleeve with pin and it works perfectly now.
