RE: side stand noise play ????????????
Glad that you posted. Mine just started doing the same damn thing this weekend. Guess it needs some lube.
Question - Is there ever need to replace the spring? Mine seems a little slow on the return?

The slowness may well be related to the lack of lube, although ah have heard of 'em breakin'.
An' Choo, yer right - some folks equate "lube" with "immerse in grease"...but they usually don't stay around long.<G>

still, just keeping it clean will normally eliminate the squeaks.
There is really not enough friction or tightness in the parts to
really cause any binding or excessive wear of the parts.
But if you insist a dry lube (teflon) would be the thing to use.
As I said, I rinse mine off when ever Iwash the bike, ride in the rain,
and when the dog decides he needs to relieve himself, or myself for that matter!
And it doesn't squeak!
