2nd Generation, CSC Center Stand: Installation
Today I received my new center stand from CSC. I am busy tomorrow, but i hope to install the center stand sometime next week. CSC has posted an installation tutorial for the new center stand at the following link.

I saw this in person at CSC today. I'll be ordering one soon. Those aluminum skid plates looked excellent as well.
Please update with how the install goes Spud. |

I certainly will post an update, Lee.
Other than pounding the mounts apart slightly with a drift, and/or removing a little metal with my angle grinder, I think the installation should be pretty straightforward. I do plan to use my Tusk Spring Puller, instead of a screwdriver, to facilitate the installation of the spring. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...+spring+puller

Great Spudness. I'm on the fence till I see how yours works out. Pics please of the installed stand folded up and down so we can see how it intermingles with the side stand. And how easy the peg leg makes it to get up on the center stand? Also does the peg leg stay clear of your foot when riding?
I got bored this week and made an adapter for my original type center stand that added a peg leg to it. Made it very easy to get up onto the center stand 1 or 2 times till it got twitterpated being aluminum and became worthless. First time I tried it though, it about threw my RX3 over my shoulder, so I had that going for me. Sigh, rj

I won't get the center stand installed until the middle of next week, at the earliest. However, I have opened the package, and examined the center stand. It is very well manufactured.

I'll make sure I request this version when they call to configure my 2016 before shipping.

But now want the updated one ? |

I emailed asking that question and they said they'd work something out. Once I see some more photos/reviews I'll write them again. I really don't like not being able to put the bike on the center stand myself.

So, if anyone has an old one and is buying a new one, I'd like to work something out with them. PM me if interested.

Just a thought for you guys when installing your center stand.
If you have trouble getting it into the frame bracket as if the new stand is a bit too wide, check for burrs banged up on the frame mounting bracket from hitting rocks. The center stand mounting bracket is the lowest portion of the frame and will get dinged up if you hit any rocks. Gently Feel the inside portion where the stand goes into and if you feel a sharp burr, hit it with a file. Be careful when feeling it as they can be sharp as a razor blade. Readhawk47, I'll keep you in mind for my old center stand but haven't ordered a new one yet as I want to see how they work out on others bikes. I'm wondering if those of us that put a lowering link on would need a shorter center stand to compensate like other bike brands do? rj

Also looking forward to further photos and reviews.
I still can't get my bike onto the center stand on my own (old style stand). |
