With the kickstand foot portion tilted to a raised position for contacting the ground or other surface, the detent on the head portion releasably engages a locking cavity in a lock sleeve which is mounted within the support body. A return spring is provided for yieldably urging the kickstand toward a lowered position at which the head portion pivots within the slot for withdrawing the detent from the lock sleeve. A locking recess is formed within the support body, and the detent releasably engages the locking recess when the footrest is moved to a closed position alongside the motorcycle frame.
