I've just rescued an NTV and I'm in the process of putting it back on the road as a first bike for my son. The center stand, when in the up position, is very high and bears against the bottom of the swinging arm. I would have thought there was some stop to prevent this but I can't see anything obviously missing. The exhaust has been replaced with a stainless "Fuel" system. (did the original exhaust provide the stop?) If anybody can tell me what the stand should bear against I would appreciate it. I'm reluctant to remove it altogether as wheel removal without a stand is hard work.
Yours in anticipation.

Dave E By coincidence I replaced the OEM exhaust on my Revere 650 (same bike for this purpose) and I also noticed this. Then I noticed in the instructions for the Motad exhaust to attach this other piece that they supplied with the exhaust to the lug where the collector box was attached. Hey presto it stops the centrestand sitting too high. So you need this piece. You could try the guy you bought it from or otherwise get on to Motad. |

Thanks for the photo and info Gents,
looks like I'll have to rig up a stop as there is no collector box as such on this system. It does sound good though and on a quick test run there is plenty of grunt and good pickup.
