SW Motech center stand install.

Straightforward install & no issue with clearance of right side mounting bolt with the Termignoni exhaust setup. Did need a long 19mm wrench for the nut on the right side. Messing with spring tension now as I just about maxed it out & it makes it a bit tougher to get up on the stand. Gained some space in the garage for sure & chain maintenance will be a breeze.

Did not weight it before install but it’s not too heavy as I was able to hold it up with one hand while installing & I am weak. lol.

I didn't weigh mine either, however, 4-5lbs is what I'd guess. That is extremely light for center stand. The OEM on my T7 was over 10lbs.

The tubing is ~1" or less, >25mm, and there are no extra brackets to add weight, as the mounting positions are part of the foot peg mounts. I'll measure the tube OD tonight and update the post.

Edit: put a set of calipers on it, tubing measures 21mm

I just bought a set of the centre stand. However the stand arrive without the nuts, bolts or the spring. Only the stand. Is this normal? I have to order the bolts, nuts and spring separately? Any advice?

Not normal….should be a hardware kit too with bolts, nuts, springs, & a rubber stopper.

Did you adjust the nut that attaches to the spring all the way up like in the picture? View attachment 1185

It's installed and I went back out and adjusted that bolt down. It was a straightforward installation, and I loved all the colorful and detailed pictures!!

Just installed the black dog footpegs and waiting for the muller motorsport mount for the steering damper!

The tighter the spring the less the stand will move during riding. Putting on the spring is the difficult part. The way is to twist in a few threads, install springs, then tighten all the way.

^^^^^^^^ You're ready to go somewhere now.
