 One issue I have had with mountain bikes has been the lack of kick-stands on most models, and the inability to easily add something. Sure, you don't need a kick-stand while actually riding on the mountain - but then again you don't need a kick stand for any bike while actually riding.  Even if you only ever use your bike at a bike park, it would be nice to be able to park it at the bottom while you go get a drink, etc., without needing to lay it on the job and mess up your paint job with scratches from gravel, etc.   It has to be said that when actually using a mountain bike on the mountain, it's better to not have a stand, as it's one more thing to bang against rocks, get stuck on roots, etc. - so something easily removable would be ideal.   Some MTB models do have pre-tapped holes to be able to add a kick stand - such as my XM-1, but for models like the XM-D2, and Yamaka YPJ MT Pro (Moro Pro), there is no such luck.   There are a few work-arounds: 1.
