Side Stand pivot bolt

And, after a careful cleaning and inspection, I see I have busted yet another (number three) of this side stand "lever:"

How do you manage that, docc?

 

I wish I knew. They all broke in the same place and heard of others breaking. At home, i park the Sport on the lift and don't even use the stand.

 

I recall someone made an alternative, but it wasn't very attractive.

It's a Guzzi thing. They do that since ever. Needless weight just gets shaken off.

 

Maybe it helps if you don't tighten the screws too much. Just a bit to secure the lever, but then don't forget the Loctite for fixing the bolts themselfs.

That explains why it shook me off once! :grin:

 

I am going to try this for a solution having cleaned up the broken ends and tucked them inside the screws. And, yes, LocTite!
