I have a minor, but annoying, problem with my centre stand that I have been avoiding addressing.
The return tang on the spring, where it hooks through the engine/gearbox cradle, is too long. As the centre stand is kicked up the tang scores against the top of the centre stand plate on the LHS stopping it folding up properly. Only needs a another kick to return, but it's still annoying.
Probably only needs 3-4mm ground off the end of the tang.
Reason for avoidance is difficulty I anticipate during reassembly - fighting the spring.
Anyone had/addressed this issue and willing to offer advice?
Cheers
