    Hello, I am having issues with my side stand since purchase of the bike. The side stand keeps popping up automatically whenever i tilt the bike straight up. Could anyone post some pictures of their 550 side stand linkage and springs to see if mine is fitted correctly. As it now, both springs are going to the bottom hole of the bean shaped thingy.

    the kidney shaped plate goes the other way round, and should operate the side-stand switch, mines a 600 but looks the same as yours
    trying to upload a picture but it says the file is too big, and the thumbnail option isnt appearing for some reason

    The site should take care of pictures sizes as they are uploaded. If you are talking file size, how large were yours?

    i was trying to post a picture of one of my bikes showing the sidestand setup, the file size says 5.9mb, and would be a full size picture , ive never had a problem before, and there used to be an option for selecting thumb- nail or actual picture size, but that text did not appear whilst trying to post
