I took it off as it was getting a bitty rusty, have been a total wingnut and forgot how it went on exactly... Firstly the left base of the stand, when riding - springs up and hits the underneath of the chain (shown in picture 2 below). When going over a bump in the road in bounces around underneath me. It feels as though it should have a washer or a very thin spacer on the axle as it wobbles from side to side a bit and this could be causing the base to hit the chain...?

Also it doesn't feel like it snaps shut and if it did it would completely jam into the chain. May I need a new spring?) Could someone please mail me a picture of theirs so I can match it? This is what mine looks like.. (Shown in the comments below) Have I got the spring and pedal on the right way round? And is the small metal coil related to the center stand?

Cheers in advance! Any help please! Fire on! Don't want to be thrown off whilst riding

If you grab the stand and wiggle it , does it move side to side ? If so the pivot pin or the holes it passes through ,or both , could be worn .  Are you sure it's not touching the chain because the chain is too loose ?  That chain's seen better days !

Hi Kev! Yes it does move from side to side. I'm thinking it should be pulled more in one direction so that it is off the chain.. Is the metal coil in picture 3 anything to do with the center stand do you know?

happy riding, Louis

what metal coil?

The one in picture 3 - underneath where the spring pedal fits into place. (It's hooked onto the shaft type thing 

That's your brake pedal return spring .

Did you check the chain tension? Also, didn't you paint it whilst it was off? You said you took it off as it was getting rusty but it still looks rusty in the pictures...

Did you have any of these issues before you removed it? If not, I'd say you've put it on incorrectly so it might be worth removing and seeing if you can reinstall it in a different way or checking you haven't lost a stop bung etc 

Good luck sorting
