If you ever need to park on soft ground or a relatively steep pitch, your moto will be unstable on its center stand. I carry a flat puck to place under the side stand leg when parking on loose gravel or grass. Replace the leg and assembly, or reinforce it if possible.bmwk100rs wrote:I use the center stand most of the time since the side stand is in bad shape so I'm thinking about removing it.

It won't come out that way - can't remember what it hits - but it should go across far enough.

Use spline grease
However you do it, do it soon, do it gently and get the clutch lever tied up to the frame. Leaving the clutch boot stretched like that is asking for it to rip in very short order.

Now, what will prevent the pivot from sliding to the right overtime without the side stand lever and circle-clip on the opposite side?

Re: Remove side stand lever Sat Sep 18, 2021 12:42 pmThank you. I'll use the bearing dimensions and find something locally. During winter maintenance checks I'll do as you have done and remove the lever and install a spacer.bmwk100rs wrote:RS Rider wrote:Is that an off-the-shelf bearing sleeve?
