Tool needed are 1 rubber mallet.

Step 1. Connect the springs to the SPRING HOOK

Step 2. Connect the springs to the CENTER STAND

Step 3. Start on the LEFT SIDE of the bike. Slide the MAIN STAND SHAFT into the bikes bracket and into the stand itself.

Step 4. Use the foot press part of the MAIN/CENTER STAND as a hand hold, and pivot the stand into alignment as close as you can get it. Use a friend to help guild you. It will take a bit of strength, but not nearly as crazy as it is to stretch those springs.

As you pivot the stand into alignment (you are aligning the right side by the way) Use your free hand to swing the rubber mallet and moderately hit the MAIN STAND SHAFT to slide it into the right side bracket. This may take some finesse, but it works.

Step 5. Secure MAIN STAND SHAFT with the 6 MM PLUG BOLT. I used blue loctite, as I do not want this coming loose.


ps: I do not remove the exhaust pipe bolt to free the way to screw the spring hook . But you need a small hand and a cool pipe.
I do not hammer the shaft as the mounting hole on the chasis is a tight fit and I have no assitance to guide the alignment.
I choose to install the spring after installation of the main stand and shaft. All you need is a twisted nylon cord, a handle and a medium strong arm that can pull 20-30 kg. The spring hook will just pop in with a single pull.
