To be fair I very use the side stand, when I tried the side stand with the bike on the centre stand it appears there is a bit of lateral movement around the bolt which probably means that the bolt hole in the frame is worn. I may disassemble it this weekend and have a look.

Thanks for reply Dave, my side stand when in up position touches and if the exhaust wasn’t there it would raise even higher, something can’t be right, I’ve had exhaust off and back on again and it’s in correct position and the stand or mounting bracket doesn’t look damaged, but when riding it going to constantly bang and rub damaging exhaust even more

If you post a side view pic of your bike, someone with a K3 will be able to advise on clearance.

I’ve got no exhaust on my k3 at the moment but took this pic maybe you can check yours to see if it’s similar or if the stand is worn and allowing it to go too high

That’s brilliant thank you for taking the time to do that very much appreciated

Two types of side stands fitted to the K and F2, (with and without the rubber) depends on the country  ;)

Looks like  the stop on the frame is worn. A little weld will solve it .
