Thread from the dead time folks!
Did anybody find out if this 1" of play is standard?
I had my bike cut out this morning because the side stand wouldn't retract fully. The reason being it was full of road grime.
So, having got back from work, I pulled it apart and cleaned it. It was so full of crap that it now has a full inch of play at the foot end too, which makes me wonder if I have a washer missing maybe.
I have the 12mm bolt, the wide washer, the plate that holds the spring, then the stand itself which has all the play. Is anything missing?
