The holes in the kickstand that the pivot bolts go through get elongated and oval shaped at the same time. The centerstand will begin to hang low when in the up position.I'll take a look at that and try raising the rear wheel a bit.
I think RPM still has the pivot bolts.
tks folks.

Quote from: Front sproket on April 25, 2026, 06:55:23 AMHi everyone i just bought my first FJ 1200.Front sproket,
having looked at the heat mat i suddenly thought oh no asbestos! Because it looks flat white not like fibreglass. Does anyone know if in the mid 80's Yamaha used asbestos?
