Posted October 23, 200816 yr Hi, I must've flipped the wrong driver "the bird" - probably a mr. Murphy, 'cause I just found out, that my centre stand have quit. Rust. Wiggled the lever a bit and.. it came off. I've yet to come across a dealer, who even lists the part number and the company who sold it to "CF" back i '78 told me they'd tossed all the '360 spares a few days ago. Any help would be highly appreciated - I don't care if it's OEM, aftermarket, "bamboo" or whatnot - the side stand doesn't look like it's up to do the long-term service, it's never been intended to do. Kind regards Per Termark XS360 (1U4)
October 24, 200816 yr I found me an XS400 center stand on egay that fit my bike. There's usually a few of them around on there. I think most are compatable, but I'd ask them for some basic dimensions if I was you.
October 25, 200816 yr Moderator http://www.boats.net/parts/detail/yamaha/Y...7111-01-00.html part for xs400 mainstand. 1U4-27111-01 for xs250 main stand (same part)
October 25, 200816 yr Wiggled the lever a bit and.. it came off. Hey I wonder if this is another common fault with the 360. When I got my 360 the foot portion of the lever was snapped off. There is just a little stub extending from the stand leg. It's quite an act getting the bike onto the center stand with just your toe holding that little stub.
October 25, 200816 yr Author Hey I wonder if this is another common fault with the 360. When I got my 360 the foot portion of the lever was snapped off. There is just a little stub extending from the stand leg. It's quite an act getting the bike onto the center stand with just your toe holding that little stub. When I looked at the piece that came off, part of the surface that should have been either grey or rusty, looked like it had never been attached to anything - so You might be right. Drewpy posted a "part pusher"-link, that I'm gonna look into, although this very evening, my step-dadinlaw (wussname?) offered to weld mine (I haven't got a welder - yet!). - I know from experience that the repair, when done correctly, will often outlast the original, so, if You have any way to get someone to weld a new lever onto the stub, get it done - it'll probably cost You a fraction of the price of a new one. Cheers, Per Termark
October 26, 200816 yr Yeah that is my plan to get a lever fabricated and welded. I need to also make up some brackets to mount two small cases, so when it is time to weld those, I'll get my welder to fix the center stand.
