1200 Sidestand Bolt Failure

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by doughnut, Jun 18, 2015.

  1. If there is another run I would like 2 please.
     
  2. Yes I would like a couple as well if more are made thanks
     
  3. How do I go about getting one of these bolts please? Thanks.
     
  4. I think this is a dead thread. Many asking but nobody selling
     
  5. I see. Thanks for the info. :smile:
     
  6. A warning to those of you who have fitted one of Alan's uprated sidestand bolts. I had a problem with the bolt and sent him a PM to let him know, but got no reply

    A few weeks a go I became aware of the bike leaning over further than normal and grabbing a hold of the sidestand I could feel a lot of movement at the pivot. When I came to dismantle it I found the the uprated bolt is made up of 2 parts; a shouldered nut which forms the sleeve, and a threaded stud.
    Despite the pivot being well greased on assembly there must have been enough friction to cause the sleeve part to unscrew from the stud, which is locked to the fixed pivot plate when assembled. I've put it back together really tightly and with Loctite but if it happens again I'll consider drilling a hole through the shoulder and fitting a small roll pin to prevent it from unscrewing.

  7. Thanks for the headsup. Good to know.
     
  8. Sorry to hear that Derek, yes they are made in two pieces but I was assured by the guys making them they have plenty of loctite in them.

    I've not been watching the forum for a few weeks

    Any idea why it came loose?

  9. I think it's inherent in the design really. The stud gets locked to the side stand pivot plate by the locknut on the back. Any friction will try to rotate the sleeve. I did apply lots of grease when I fitted it. So in the case of mine maybe the stud wasn't loctited securely enough into the sleeve or perhaps the loctite got missed.
    Whatever, it's ok now but I'll be keeping an eye on it. As long as it stays tight, it's certainly stronger than the OEM bolt.
     
  10. I would guess not enough loctite :(

    I'll make sure the next batch are well loctite

  11. Hi guys
    So Ducati made the original bolt but who ever designed it
    Could cost us all a lot of money for a stupid mistake
    Well done for finding this out before it's too late mate
    I check mine tomorrow
     
  12. Hi Alan, have you got any bolts available?
    Thanks

  13. Rouleur46, I have one if your interested. I got one to use on my 2013 but ordered a DVT so never fitted it.
