So i decided to get my kick stand cleaned up....cannot ride the bike for a few weeks at least...
One bolt was needed to be removed with a socket - here you can see it from my point of view lying on my side
Once i un-did it a little parts of it rotated around and the spring which was not under any real tension was easy to remove....
Cleaned up the parts....with some spare brake component cleaner - worked well
, be careful with anything like that around the switch as its got some rubber bits....and i don't think it plays nice...
Painted most of the stand with hammerite but not the smooth machined bearing surface...
NOW something i am still looking at - here you can see the Sidestand Switch - its mucky and i am considering taking it off, but i think i cannot get to one of the screws for the crankcase...
Here you can see i am pushing the switch in - something the stand normally does with a projection it has on it...
Will update if i get it off and once back together....
