I don't think your bike (pictured) has either.

It could have been called a "quickie stand". Would that have been better?

I always thought they called it that because it usually fell off in a jiffy.

Cool Jiffy stands
A kickstand costs $19.99, a jiffy stand costs $99.99.

My Bike has a Kickstand, Bendix Two-Speed Rear Hub and a Locking Springer Front end. My Harley has a Jiffy Stand; Says so in the Manual!

From every manual I have seen for other brands ... it is not a kick stand either. Those are on bicycles. HD = Jiffy Stand, Metrics = Side Stand

It's a choke on a butterfly carb that uses a plate in the intake to restrict air flow, and an enrichener on both a butterfly or constant velocity carb that uses a fuel circuit to increase fuel volume.
