Seems simple at first glance but there’s a lot going on with every little part of the bike. Something as simple as a side stand kill switch not working or a sticky side stand can render your bike inoperable. Worth watching all the way through! If you have any question please contact me on Instagram. instagram.com/motorcyclemecha/

This video made me smile. That side stand is much happier now. I'm inspired to do this on my bike this weekend!

Remember to shake your blue lock tight. Great video

[@keithburt7874]

Wonderful, mine is worked open & sits leaning more than factory, so I usually put down my center stand before I set foot on Mother Terra, so to speak respectfully

[@motomecha530]

Replace it.

[@henrygoleau]

Nice. But it looks like the spring got mounted upside down at 7:00, contradicting your good advice lol at 1:30.

[@motomecha530]

LOL could be...

[@jerodkenoyer270]

[@tylertaylor8465]

What size bolts?

[@ivoperic3992]

[@sarahhuerta-duran3281]

Really appreciate your explanations of each step. Which type of lube did you use?

[@motomecha530]

In this video I just used wheel bearing grease.

[@mariocaja3279]

Great video ... Love your work!

[@motomecha530]

Thanks!

[@caseycrownover8329]

Thanks man doing mine in the am

[@motomecha530]

Nice! lemme know how it goes!

[@kraigtomlinson2201]

Love the videos. Keep up the great work!!!

[@motomecha530]

Thanks! Will do!

[@sleepyrasta14820]

My bolt that attaches it to the frame is completely rusted its like the bolt and the threads on the frame have rusted together

[@motomecha530]

yikes, try some penetrating lube and a torch.

[@grammageo]

Do you think parking the bike on the sidestand for long periods of time is bad and that a centerstand should be preferred?
PS: Thank you so much for your videos, i discovered your channel from motojitsu and your content is super helpful!

[@motomecha530]

No, it’ll be fine for extended periods of time. I would say that placing the bike in the center stand will be better for the tires… less load and possibility for flat spots

[@ikramalifkhan]

Thank you

[@motomecha530]

[@motomecha530]

I love that feeling when you get to use the part of the bike you just optimized. Feels so good huh? :) Thanks for watching!

[@doitdamnit]

@@motomecha530 absolutely, Mike!👍

[@anthonyllerena8782]

What kinda bike is that?

[@motomecha530]

My Bandit 1250

[@johnsaxon9912]

Thx but you need better camera work. It's too hard to see what you're doing.

[@motomecha530]

Ok! Thanks, I'll work on getting better angle and lighting. It's definitely a steep learning curve for me...
