Jiffy stand.
Jiffy stand.
Has anyone else had to replace the bushings for your jiffy stand?
My bike has 11K on it, and noticed today that the stand was flopping around in the up postion. Bad bushings. [:@]
So tomorrow I will grab some at the stealer after work, and they look pretty simple to do. And I do have the manual, if things do go south. But I just think that those bushing should have lasted way longer then 7 years. Oh well.

Well I just got it done, and I will have to say that the bushings were toast. My pin however, looked just fine. Oh well easy fix. But those bushing were not worth the $6 EACH that I paid for them. 
RE: Jiffy stand.
What year is your bike? I dunno how the rubber mount jiffy stand system is like. Plus if you didn't have a upper bushing, what was help keeping that cotter pin from spinning and slipping through the upper slot?

No it's not a rubber mount, it's an older one ('95). The mount is just a tube on the stand and 2 ears on the frame. Pin slides thru and a cotter pin holds it. I think maybe there should be a bushing in the tube because when I put it together I noticed there was still some play in there. When I replaced the spring it came up against the snubber so I forgot about it. I'll check it out during my winter teardown.
My bushing are shot again at 21,000 miles. Not only that but my damned Jiffy stand fell off at the gas station today. The cotter pin that holds in the jiffy piviot pin sheered off and let the piviot pin slide half way out. Someone on a Ducati gave me a hand by holding up the bike, so I could finish taking the pin out and fully removing the jiffy stand. This jiffy stand is really themost unrealible part of this Sporty..................

The stand fell off? WOW I would make damn sure it wouldent be able to do that again, imagine if you just put it down and walked away from it. The bike would have fallen over. That is good info, be checking mine regularly now. thanks
