adjustable sidestand

[Mike Hansen]

ed, When you installed the new cush hub, would it fall out when the tire is on it's side ? I changed my tires last month and my rubber cush would come off the hub very easily. I figured , thats just the design....... Thanks fo ryour post !! learn something new everyday : ) !! -Mike- ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: fasteddiecopeman To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2009 8:30:51 AM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] rear "cush hub" replacement Listers- My '04 KLR has about 30,000 miles on it, and I just replaced the cush hub rubber, so might be a good idea to check yours. If worn, you can move the rear sprocket back and forth a bit by hand (or the sprocket side will drop out when you're changing a rear tire when you turn it left side down), and Fred sent me a new one ($30 or so) PDQ! When replaced it stays in quite tightly. Cheers, Ed [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

My suspension height changes a lot (with / without camping gear) and the OEM sidestand was just a bit too tall. The bike tended to be too vertical and easily tipped over on the right side. A lowered sidestand was too short so I modified it, as others have done before, so it could be adjusted (see photo section 'Adjustable Sidestand_2'). I still need to cut off the extra threaded rod but I'm sure that after I get the length dialed in, I won't change it much after that. Don R100, A6F
