Side stand spring bolt broke
custom1:
When I got home from work(8 mile ride) the side stand was floppy. It wouldn't stay all the way up or down. Looked under and the spring was there. Looked closer and found the bolt it hooks to is snapped off. The fiche diagram isn't very clear but I think I need #6--- 90111-MZ8-000 special bolt.

It doesn't show on the diagram but there is a nut and a wire holder on the top side. The wire holder is visible in the upper right of the pic. It looks easy enough to get out from the top. Just want to make sure I'm ordering the right part. What is suppose to be in the wire holder? I know someone will say a wire. :crazy2: I can't see how the wire to the switch would reach over that far.
Here is a couple pics.
I read on here about putting nickels in the spring coils to install it. Seams pretty straight forward. Am I missing anything?
Valker:
Only thing you're missing is order more than one. Some creative folks (not me) have replaced that bolt with a hardware store eye bolt, grade 8 for improved life.
The nut is still attached to the top part that is broken off.
sheets:
Go to the microfische for "Frame"
>>> Sidestand Bracket = #10
>>> Bolt = #11 - Hook, Spring
>>> Nut = #19 - Nut, U, 6mm

Do you know what bent the bolt ?
I posted this in 2008 when my bolt was bent.
When my side-stand went limp I found the pin bent. I must have pushed the lift a little to far under the bike. Measured the needed clearance between the end of the lift and the side-stand. Cut a piece of 2x4 that size. I place the board against the side-stand on the floor which makes a safe stop for the lift.
I used a bolt with nuts to replace the pin, my bike shop didn't have the pin in stock.
Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008:
I built one from the hardware store a used one of their springs and then ordered the replacement from HDL. Still carrying the replacement spring and bolt in the saddlebags. It's been about four yrs now.
