Wobbly sidestand

[dunnie]

Anyone have any knowledge on how to tighten my side stand on my 1100. There's just a bit of excess play in it, I've tried to tighten the bolts I can see but they're all tight enough. It's just irritating me that's all.

There are a couple of thin washers which can wear on the inside face of the sidestand lug. Also the locking bolt can get worn.
I got replacements for my 1150GS from Motorworks for a few quid.
Grease well and move by hand after torquing - should fix it!

The 1100 has a different set up to an 1150.

The 1100 models usually snap the very very large hex head bolt that secures the stand plate to the engine.

this is the 1150 set up

mine was worn and made the bike sit at a big angle, I replaced the bolt and bush and it improved it a lot, £16 for both

I heard the small bolt snap years ago when I was dismounting, the bike nearly fell over on me.

Closer inspection showed TWO broken bolts.

left hand handed drill bit removed the smaller one, the larger one I ended up drilling completely through and installing a thread insert in its hole.
