ssdt1980 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi, How do you fit the spring to the side stand on a 270 without having a hernia. I'm guessing there's an easy way but can't work it out. All advise will be welcome before I have to invite the local tug-of-war team round.

chewy Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 don't know about bike specifc but normal tool is an old wire coat hanger with stand in least tension position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Gday, or you can pack coins or washers into the spring at each coil to get it long enough to drop on, then put the stand down and the coins will fall out. Too easy. Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sherco1 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 probably not the most practical way but use a hammer or just dont put it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssdt1980 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi, Thanks for the replies, I sat down with a cuppa and thought about it, then took off the bracket. Fitted the whole lot together first and found the spring had less distance to travel and got it on ok. Then it was easy to pull the stand down and push back on, then bolt the bracket on again. So anyone with a similar problem...... try a cup of tea first! Cheers all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
