With constant use of the centre stand, the resistance is now very low. For example a sparrow could land on the handle bars which would cause the bike to rock off and go for a roll..
How do you tighted the centre stand, had a quick look but the bolt just spinns, so i assume that the bolt through a hole which is pinned?? is it a new bolt jobbo???

Skint,

The back of the mounting block is round with two parallel flat sides taken off. This should mate into the the bracket on the bike. Try pushing the mounting from the back as you tighten the bolt at the front and hopefully it should push back into the seat, to allow you to tighten the bolt.

I've actually had the bolt shear on my centre stand, so check that out too. The replacement spindle and bolt should cost around £10 from your local BMW dealer, if worst comes to worst.

Good luck

If your bike is rolling forward off the stand, mebe the stand is not comming forward enough. There's two bolts that act as a stop. between the frame and stand. mebe one's come loose?

That's my guess too - I had to screw mine back in not long ago. 10 secs with a 10mm I think

Those centre stand pivot bolts are done up with super ultra strength loctite for which a small thermonuclear device is required to shift them.

It must be said that it is not the best thought out idea.The stand inserts/bushes/collars whatever wear away really fast.
Got piss*d off with mine and took the bugger off.Job well done.

Bailey, does that mean you got one of those paddock stands for it then?? I like the centre stand myself as its costs nowt..

Cheers all will look into it further..

The BMW stand is the dogs danglies.Much,much better than the centre stand.And the same price to buy.
