Oooo... I never thought of that.

What if it was a midget... sorry, "small person", who is a psychic, and just escaped from prison...

Then it would have been a "small medium at large".....

 

 

Now that is funny

 

My spring wasn't holding the jiffy firmly up, so I put on a new one and carry the old just in case, but it sure wasn't a 5 minute job. I pulled the floorboard and the stand bracket to get that ****er on. What's the trick aside from brute strength? Oh yeah, spring was $1.68, not chrome and made in Mexico. Rubber bumper for jiffy stand, made in USA, but almost $9. Go figure.

 

I would like to know the trick as well, mine fell off once, and I had one hell of a time stretching that SOB back on.

 

Get a pocket full of change and slip a coin in between each coil of the spring. OR use washers.

I generally don't carry washers, but I usually have a pocket full of change.

It works, trust me. Then when you put the stand up, the change falls out.

 

Take off the top bolt makes it much easier. Also there is an extra heavy duty spring that can be had and I have. Search eBay. No more need to carry a spare. If that one goes I have a tie wrap and spare spring at home. Too much stuff already in my saddlebags....

 

The trick is to pull the top nut and then the key off the Jiffy Stand. Drop it down and out. Then you swing the stand all the way forward, easily hook the spring, and swing it back under the bike and back in the mount.. Put the key and nut back on and your finished.

 

Best advise so far. Try to change the spring with the stand in situ only causes it to stretch too much and defeat the object of the exercise.
