    Bits that I’ve ordered for my new Tenere have started arriving :)
    Last night I fitted the SW Motech centre stand I ordered from “Off the Road”
    It went on fine, but I’ve noticed it doesn’t have a rubber grommet to stop it hitting the rear linkage.
    Is this normal ? Or is it missing a part ?
    Other thing I’ve found is that the new chain has stretched ( a lot ) & is rubbing on the centrestand. Quick adjustment tonight will sort that !

    Any help most appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Bucky

    Ummm not sure about the grommet Bucky a picture would help.

    Yes the chain appears to hit when sitting there without the rider on board (when correctly adjusted) but doesnt when you are on it.

    Unless your 60kilos and dont plan on putting luggage on board get your suspension done, makes the biggest difference and helps with the chain on the centre stand

    Welcome to the white club BTW

    Bucky,

    Had a look at mine, don’t know the stand brand but here’s some comparo photo’s.

    Yes the bike is dirty, I ride it. Polishing is for HD riders… ;)

    The rubber grommet is in the top left touching the swing arm when the stand is up. Chain doesn’t touch anywhere.

    Thanks TB

    With the centrestand – every other bike I’ve had has had a rubber stopper on the centrestand to hold it off the chassis / stop it banging when you hit bumps etc. The SW Motech didn’t come with one.

    Will look into the suspension when finances permit !

    Cheers,

    PS – Glad I got picked white. Not many around & they look the business !
