A snowmobile has a kickstand to lift the track out of contact with, or so as to be in only light contact with the, snow surface to inhibit freezing of the track to the snow surface. The snowmobile may be locked in lifted position on the kickstand in provided to deter theft. This may be achieved by directing a locking bar from one side leg of the kickstand to another side leg of the kickstand between parts, for example a shock absorber and a suspension link of the snowmobile, which are spaced apart only when the kickstand is operative.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 23, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 23, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 23, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
