Sidestand is a bit wobbly

[lmg]

My side-stand has become a bit wobbly and I've been advised that the bush may need changing.

Can anyone point me to one online and/or the part number so I might track one down?

I changed mine, it made virtually no difference.

Every side stand on every bike I ever owned was like that. If it really bothers you you could check the bolt: a worn bolt is worse than a worn bush.

Wear at the clevis causes more wobble than the pivot bolt/bush.

Well just to be clear, Mikeyboy suggested that the bush may be worn when the bike went in for its service, so I am guessing thats its more wobbly than a stock wobble.

Let us assume for a moment that I dont know what a clevis is - can you explain a bit more and is it something that is replaceable?

The forked end of the stand that the bolt goes though fits around the bracket on the frame. The inside edges and the frame bracket wear along with the bolt & bush. New bolt and bush will reduce the wobble, but the fork end (clevis) has a bigger influence. The fix is to pack the clevis with shim washers but it never wears evenly so its one of those things we end up living with.
