JamHam5292 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I have a Yamaha YBR125 with a bit of a dilemma. Under the exhaust used to be a piece of metal welded to it with a rubber stop which held the centre stand in place. Long story short that metal has fell off the exhaust so the stand hits the chain now going too far up into the bike. I’ve tried thinking of ways to stop it but can’t come up with a decent solution. Been using cable ties to hold it in line with the side stand. Anyone got any creative ideas? I’m a guy with little tools so unable to drill holes or anything and would like to keep the main centre stand on. Thanks! wont let me post any pictures D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Wheels Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Really hope you sort something. Few years ago my mate had a small stone trapped in his swingarm, it rubbed on his chain and with the heat it caused, the chain broke. Chain wrapped around his right foot and brake pedal. He went down pritty hard and was dragged along the road everywhere the bike went. Stop riding till ya sort this,,,,, watch u tube for lucky people who survived broken chains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locked the rear wheel at nearly 50, broke the engine case, ruined my boots and a new pair of jeans and completely shagged the rear tyre. Thankfully the boots my mates took the piss out of took the worst of it leaving me with cuts and bruises. Don't underestimate the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
