Side stand too close to the number one front pipe issue ?

(1/2) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My side stand when it is in the up position is pretty much touching the front pipe on number one cylinder.
As my bike had a 4:1 system it was not an issue on the old silencer.

Before I look at trying to move the exhuast a tad is there any other possible explaination?

The Delkevic system comes with a large single rubber grommet what is this for?
There is a square rubber fitted for the centre stand.

Seabeowner:
I had the same problem with my 4/4 set from silvers. It would clang on the pipe coming up.
Bit of a bodge,  but I stuck a tiny piece of 1/8" rubber against the stop.

Ah interesting I'm looking at a similar option. I did do a site search but could not find much. I'm looking at a similar option as the silencers sit nicely otherwise.

I can almost get two fingers between the frame and number one front pipe. The other side for number four is identical almost  two finger gap,  so I don't think the pipe is to blame.

Nurse Julie:
The Delkevic comes with its own rubber block for the side stand, the OEM rubber one won't fit.
Edit..... Centre stand, not side stand 🙄🙄🙄

Do you mean the side stand or the centre stand Julie?

The system comes with a square grommet fitted to number two silencer iirc.

There is also a loose large grommet in the Delkevic kit.
