I appreciate there are a lot of previous posts relating to sidestand problems on the site but thought I would seek advice regarding any changes as my bike is currently stripped and about to go for powder coating. What actually fails, is it the main allen bolt, the two frame bolts or the weld? I have read that extending the stand by 80mm helps and changing the two bolts for high tensile items also helps. (I assume only one bolt really does anything as you can't fully tighten the bolt with the wear pad carrier) Should I be considering anything else? Is it worth getting the stand mount plate welded on the rear? |

i know the weld can break near the top of the stand, i 'm pretty sure its the big single bolt that tends to snap as thats the one under all the stress. |

on my first 644 ds it was the two bolts that holds the bracket to the frame . the bracket acts like a guillotine and slices them in half . did not happen with the trail stand on with SM wheels . i guess its the angle the bike sits at with the sm stand on . if the bolts come loose and you have the SM stand on with SM wheels its bye bye bolts well it was in my case . happened to 6 bolts in total until i got bolts of R30 steve(spit lol) from the old site |

Thanks for the info. Further investigation has established that a previous owner has had the sidestand bracket welded in place. |
