POST 9: Blue bike; centre stand

Image
The centre-stand is held on by 2x 12mm bolts. One below the front of the return spring and one at the rear.  Unscrewing the front stand bolt Unscrewing the rear mounting- note motor is upside down! Tap out the bolts- The front bolt is longer than the rear. Centre stand bolts removed. The stand comes off in one piece but this consists of 2 parts held by the pivot pin. This has a plain button at one side and a washer and split pin at the other. Plain button on rhs of stand Split pin and washer on lhs of stand. Straighten the split pin and remove it. Tap the pivot pin out of the stand and separate the parts. The return spring comes off in this process and the parts will separate. Washer as removed- the split pin will need replacing! Centre stand component parts incl spring. Upper section note drain hose and rubber cushion. I degreased, derusted and repainted the stand in gloss black.
