1200 S Loose Stand Mountings

Discussion in 'Monster' started by LCjohnny, Jul 31, 2017.

  1. Just checked my 1200 at 4200 miles - the two allen screws holding the stand bracket to the crankcase were loose:mad:

    they need to be 36Nm so no riding tomorrow:sob:

    - remove loctite and torque tomorrow pm

    Worth checking those screws guys as with no centre stand if they pull out of the cases you will be :broken_heart::bomb::broken_heart:

  2. Unfortunately to torque up the lower stand bracket screw you need to undo the centre stand pivot. But the bolt is covered by the stand switch held on -by a 10mm bolt industrially lock=tited into the stand pivot.

    Maybe you can 'tickle' the switch bolt out...

    but mine snapped off leaving business end in the pivot bolt... and the bike blocking access to bench and vice so I can't get the bolt into the vice and try a thread remover. New ones on order :(.
