My side stand started sagging and I noticed that side load on the stand had broken the fancy screw the parts catalog shows as a bolt with a nut. Either way, half the bolt is in my hand and the other half is stuck in the stand. Is the stand mounting tab that the stand clevis straddles supposed to be angled with relation to the nearby chain roller, or have a bent that too?
You can use a "regular" metric shoulder bolt, although I'm sorry but I don't remember what size. You should be able to measure the shoulder diameter and length from your broken piece and track one down that way.
FIX THAT FAST ! I got off my SMS630 one day at a buddies house only to have it fall on me the second i swung my right leg off the thing!! I totally dont trust that damn stock stand and NEVER HAVE ever since my bike fell over for the first time in a perfectly flat parking lot for no damn reason! I tried to find the center stand thats mentioned in the shop manual and special parts catalog (part#8000 A8006), only to have been told that its no longer available and you can only find one from someone that already has one!
Did you grind the nub off, or was the auto-retract still functioning? That should be the very first thing you hack off when you get it home. If you didn't, it wasn't because we didn't warn you
What is the 'auto-retract' nub you speak of? Is it the rounded edge pointing towards the rear wheel of bike?
The Nub is the extra piece of metal on the stands fixing bolt. The spring arms it self against it and prepares to fire. I thought I had run over a rabbit while in a left hand bend. Stopped for fuel and realised that it was gone. Been seeking out trees and walls now for a few months. I think I Prefer it not being there as it is something that will only let me down or clatter about .
