stand

My bike has a kerker exhaust and im guessing the previous owner removed the center stand, this makes servicing the bike a huge pita. I have never bought a bike stand before so I am unsure what I am looking for especially since this isnt a crotch rocket and the stand might be different. What...

I have an 85 max that lacks the center stand, and there is a new center stand from a 2001 on ebay for 50.00. Does anyone know if that year will fit my 85, and is 50.00 too expensive? Thanks.

Is this normal for the bike idle to drop down when taken off center stand? Even when warming the max up on choke at about 2g when I take it off the stand it drops to about 1200 rpm. :confused2:

Hi, I'm about to work on my forks and want to raise the bike with a pair of front/rear stands. Several forum searches and half a dozen calls to local bike shops have not turned up a make and model for a suitable front stand to raise a 2003 V-Max by the triple-tree. Customer service at Pit Bull...

You guys with dropped front ends and/or shorter rear shocks, here's a quick easy way to get your bike to lay over more on the side stand. The stand on the left is oem, the small unpainted section just below the white wire is where the stand makes contact with the frame....the stand on the...

Just got back for Daytona Fun Machine with my brand new 2010 Gen II !!!!!! What an awesome machine! Still "feels" like a max but super smooth, lighter feeling and tons of ***! Have not gotten to hard on it yet as she only has 135 miles....... but soon.... very soon...... :) I will have my 2007...

hey all thanks in advance for help just wondering if it takes special bols for putting center stand back on and do i need to get a spring from dealer or can i get from hardware store im cheap:rofl_200:

So I tested my side stand relay. Found it to be bad. Here is the weird thing. Bike will run, when put in gear, side stand down, WITH THE RELAY REMOVED. No need to jumper the wire to the ignitor.:ummm::ummm::ummm: Any ideas on why. I dont have my clutch switch wired cuz I have the FJR...

I received the shortened side stand from Sean...it rocks! Perfect for my lowered front-end Max! Thanks, Sean. Elimax

Hi all, I'm new here so I hope I'm posting in the right area. I have a recently acquired 1997 Vmax. I'll be doing all the service stuff myself. I have a Harbor Freight ATV/MC jack that I'm looking to use but I'm concerned that I'll be lifting from the pipes and not the frame. The general...

Here is how I jack up my front end and support the bike, in conjunction with the center stand to keep the bike stable while wrenching on it. Here is a scissor jack that I purchased at Walmart for $20 and I welded on the U bracket to cradle oil pan...

Got my center stand in the mail today! Now to install it... Is this just a simple two bolt install? And if so - can someone tell me what size of bolts I will need? My Max came with no stand - and I haven't checked to see if the bolts were still in the bike - in case the previous owner...

Hi All, I want to be able to use my center stand when I do work on my VNAX and I can't figure out how the stand is connected. I can see the 2 brackets where the center stand goes but the holes are a lot smaller than the 2 center stand bolts. I would like to see how the center stand looks on...

Hey guys, My bike is lowered, and has no center stand. The only time this bothers me is when I'm trying to work on my bike. I'm wondering if anybody has, or would be interested in, creating a stand that would put the bike a couple inches off the ground and hold it upright. I was thinking one...

Anyone happen to have the weight of the V-max center stand? With attatching bolts/nuts/springs? How 'bout the weight of a set of stk rear shocks?

Hi folks: When I purchased my '98 Max, the seller had removed the center stand, but gave me the parts for it. But, for the life of me, I cannot find it in the service manual, or, of course, directions how to put it back on. The part specifically that's bugging me is called the "main stand...

Anyone know where I can pickup a center stand for my max? I want to have one before I need to store it for winter.

I would like to find a stand like this one that will work on a VMAX, has anyone seen one or have one anything like this one. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200349259_200349259

I'm still getting power cut out in the middle of running..now when cold and after accelerating hardish..I'm suspecting the side stand switch or my new tach connection. First how tight is the nut that holds the plate which pushes against the switch supposed to be? Very tight or snug or finger...

Does anyone know the make/brand/source of a rear paddock stand (for spools) that will fit the VMX17? I cannot find one wide enough ? needs to be about 41/42cm wide to cup into the spools?
