Sidestand hitting exhaust pipe
« on: February 20, 2025, 03:22:40 PM »
While refitting the belly pan I noticed that the sidestand is resting against the exhaust pipe rather than the rubber stop. Can I take the sidestand off and belt it with a hammer?

I think the side stand is cast so belting it with a hammer may not be such a good idea. I'd investigate the cause of why it's missing the bump stop. Bracket bent? something else out of alignment?

My 2 bob for what it's worth

My ST11 is all over the workshop floor ATM. I'll see if I can get a decent photo of how my sidestand sits and potential reasons for lack of alignment
