First revealed February 2022
One of many dry construct jobs that I needed to cope with was the centre stand. Some years in the past – 2014 truly – I had repaired the toes which had been utterly worn out and recorded the expertise right here.
I put it again on the bike as soon as the exhausts had been in place to take a look. I knew the stand would match the body, nevertheless it’s all the opposite components that it has to suit round which can be the issue. Right here you’ll be able to see two points – one, that the stand leg is bent – in truth they’re each bent, a standard drawback and two, that the foot fouls the exhaust:
With the stand off, you’ll be able to see that the stops are a bit worn – possibly price build up, possibly not.
To cope with the bent leg, I’ve put an outdated sidestand within the pivot eye, and heated the leg up – it has bent again fairly simply.
Subsequent drawback – the toes. Do they appear uneven?
I’ve acquired 30 mm from leg to contained in the foot on one aspect:
And I’ve acquired 25 mm on the opposite! I believe that is why it fouls the exhaust.
Possibly I will need to take away that foot and lengthen the tube just a few millimetres.
September 2022 Replace
Months later, coming spherical to this job finally I turned the bike round within the storage to take a look on the stand foot. The very first thing I realised was that the exhaust bracket in entrance of the engine was not touching the body; the second was that the silencer was significantly additional outboard than the opposite. The footrest was not absolutely residence on it is spline! I took this image with the footrest off:
Hey presto, no fouling drawback!
