    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Centerstand Issue

So I've noticed on my bike that when the centerstand is up in it's normal position, the chain rubs right on top of the left side of the centerstand. It seems that the little bracket on the headers (a 4-to-1) that has a rubber plug is too high up, so the centerstand comes too high up and the chain starts to rub on the centerstand. I haven't seen if it goes away once you sit on it, but has anyone had this problem before?
 
Personall, no, I have not had that problem, but none of my bikes have chains. :p

I have seen mention of making a L-shaped bracket that will provide a stop for the center stand to keep it from doing that.

.
 
I hadn't noticed whether that was a problem on my 650G, either ;), but I reckon the centerstand does come up higher. The stock stand has a stop on it that would have hit the pipe right where there was a stop on the stock pipe.

With the current setup, the centerstand lashes around a bit on harsh bumps, and it slaps up against the frame. I would think that if might just rub if there was a chain in the vicinity.

Maybe you can just fit a thicker plug?
 
I tried to glue a piece of rubber to the current rubber stop on the bracket, but it only held up for a day or two.
 
Use some good contact cement and see what happens. Put it on both pieces and let it dry good. Then squish the two pieces together. Bet it will hold decently.
 
Loctite makes some decent, rubber to rubber glues. However, good old Gorilla Glue might be enough.
 
I've never had that issue on either of GSs. I don't recall how it was set up on my 750B but on both of 1000s there's a pad built into the port muffler/pass peg support.
 
There is a pad on my headers, but i think the bracket is angled too high, and needs more padding to lower the centerstand more.
