Misc: Stands D type stand removal

[Bill Thomas]

Could be. On the right side, the footrest doesn't move even with the nut undone.
Hasn't been taken off much like the left side.
I'll compare the two sides to see if the taper is different.

That's just the taper doing it's job,
The very outside of the tubes sometime nip up on the stud, Need a tap with a soft hammer,
To get off.
I have seen the tubes made out of steel, But a lot are alloy.

I've just been back and checked the F51/4. There should be a flat on the front of it as well as a pin to stop it rotating. The flat will but up against the back of the dynamo cover eventually. It seems to me that it has to be the tapers not matching and letting the footrest rotate.

Thanks for checking.
Yes, except in this case, the pin isn't there.
Seems to be flush and not protruding.
F51/4 only rotates 1/8" due to the flat against the dynamo cover so isn't really a problem.
Just trying to detach F51/5 from.the footrest on the other side. It's really gripped on there even with it off the bike.

Off now and they are different. Not sure if the longer F51/4 is original or if it's part of the D stand kit that was added in the 90's.
No locating pin as mentioned.

Push the pin out from the back side to have it do its job. Without it, the flat puts force on the crankcase, so not good.

Make a longer pin out of an old cut down bolt ?,
The long tube is for the clutch side.

Thanks. Yes, I'll try and do that although can't see an easy way just yet.
The footrest does grip fine on F51/4 without the stand on but still rotates a little due to the lack of pin.

Just taking a bit off the width of the stand/bushing should allow the footrest to grip properly.
So basically two reasons for the problem. No pin and stand restricting the grip.

Done it, thanks!
There was room to reach around and push it back out. Was a bit confused as the pin is on F51/5 the other side.
