Stand fouling propshaft/swinging arm

[TerryM]

I have found that the endplate on the right side of the centre stand is fouling the propshaft housing/swinging arm so gouging into the aluminium alloy. The indentation in the alloy is about 0.5mm deep.

The ride height is set at the mid point and so I would expect the fouling to be worse at a lower setting. At standstill with the centre stand up it has a few mmm clearance, so I assume that it takes a hit over bumps when the suspension extends in rebound.

The dealer has ordered up a new cover(think he means housing but I have not taken the thing apart so am unsure of the construction)and a stop bracket which is attached to the exhaust.

I am not very confident that this will do the job, it seems that the two parts may have a geometric interference which should have been resolved in design.

Anyone found a similar problem?

Mine clears.....I remember checking when putting the Remus on. Sounds as though either the stop on the exhaust was bent, or the rubber missing off the centrestand/stop (can't remember which one its on)

Thanks for that. The rubber bumper is in place but the bracket could be distorted so the dealer will replace it. Hope that does the trick.
