Center Stand Install

woodlandsprite · 06-13-2015, 12:56 AM

So, I know to squeeze coins into the spring to expand it to install....

Is it as simple as position the stand, send the pin through, secure the ends of the pin using the little C rings (upper left - speaking of which, is there a trick to getting these on?) then bolt on the tab (look under the bike for the corresponding hole in the frame), then mount the spring?

Yes, I would install the center stand exactly as you describe.

I would use a pair of pliers to coax the circlip onto the end of the mounting pin. If necessary, you can use two pairs of pliers to grip, and spread the wings of the circlip. Widening the wings of the circlip might ease the installation.

Where possible (spring fitting), wear a pair of gardening gloves or similar, I have had these things try and bite me more than once

I recommend Loctite 242 when bolting the tab on.

Please show us pics of the completed installation.

X2 on the gloves, loctite, and request for photos.

I wish I could show you all a photo of the installed stand....
I ran into a small problem:

After trying to get it positioned and much cussing, I gave up and got my micrometer...

uh...anyone have a grinder I can borrow? I do have a flat file, I could probably take a hair off either side of the center bit of the center stand to make it fit...but there is no way it's going in there the way it is now.

I fear you will be filing a long time.

I would either trim the center stand with an angle grinder, or have CSC send me a center stand which fits.

How do you like the center stand?

That photo was dispatched to CSC before I posted it here

I called and left them a voicemail before I was clever enough to get the calipers.

spud,, while it does make lub ing the chain an adjusting the rear shock easier (btw the rear shock is abysmal ). It's only good for street use, as you can see it hangs down very low

That looks a useful homemade tool, one of those that someone makes and it is used one or twice in a lifetime, but is worth its weight in gold.

I have a grinder and if you're within a reasonable distance of Phoenix, I've been known to travel for a good cup of tea. Must be the Brit in me.

That's less than 0.5mm difference. I bet a few love taps with a hammer would widen the mount enough so that the stand slips right in.
