2009 Evo Side Stand

[trumpy]

Hi,

Can anyone help please. I bought a side stand off ebay that was suppossed to be for a 2009 evo. I can't see how it fits as I have two vertical holes on the back of my swing arm but the stand appears to have two horizontal holes.

Therfore I think I have a 2010 on side stand. Does anyone have a picture of what the 2009 side stand should look like at all.

I mailed the supplier whho told me it should fit any Evo, My understanding was that the 2009 had a differant mount as the 2010 onwards had the swing arm changed to make it stronger?

The question might be did you get the replacement swing arm as many were replaced under warranty.

How would I know? has anyone got any pictures of the mount point changes of the differant swing arms?

I just fitted a side stand to my 2009 Evo. You are right. Your mounting bracket is held on by 2 off M8 screws that screw vertically insde the casting under the lhs of the swing arm. the 2010 bracket is different.

If you go onto the Beta Website, you can download the parts manual for your bike. You can also look at the difference between the 2009 and 2010 side stand mounts.

I bought mine from e bay also. Mine was beeing sold as a 2010 side stand bracket! but they are quite different and easiliy recognisable.

I also bought the spring and stand from ebay but I had to make a small spring extension bracket, a pivot bolt and a bump stop.

There is some information on this thread:
