CB650R Central Stand Honda CB650R ConStands Power-Evo

[lalit]

I am looking forward to buy this stand. Did some one already used this stand. How is this stand? In terms of quality? And ease of using this stand? Can I use this stand for parking my bike in winter?

 

[JohnnyM]

I've have one of these stands, very useful, though in little awkward to get the pin into the swingarm points. However once in place , very easy to move about and stable if your floor is even

Finally I bought it and installed it.
But I have small problem with installation. One of the bolt of the bike must be replaced with the supplied bolt with this stand. And this one doesn't fit perfectly. There is a small gap and the nut and bolt moves. So I am not sure about this. Please take a look at attached picture. Any help is appreciated.

Can you describe in better detail the gap you are referring to?

 

[lalit]

Here are some more details about the issue I am facing.
Attached are the steps to modify one of the nut-bolt. Here the nut has to be replaced. Take a look at Step 2 [4] in the picture attached. While trying to install this nut with torque more than 60Nm, the nut doesn't seem to be completely inside. and the nut-bolt moves laterally, may be around 2-3mm. I am scared to apply more torque as it might get slip. Also I broke one of my wrench - though it was of cheap quality. To tighten this you need 2 wrench.
I had ridden the motorcycle couple of times for short distance and not above 100Kmph and it is stable and the nut is also in place.
I am only worried about the lateral movement of this nut bolt. I am thinking of adding some washers to this.
Any opinion on this?

60Nm is recommended in the instruction manual

 

[baugustine]

somewhat confusing instructions but you want that bolt tight so it does not come out from vibrations while riding. How about a thick lock washer?

 

[lalit]

Yes, that's right. Today I got some washers and tomorrow evening I am planning to fix this.
Thanks for your support.😁

 

[lalit]

Washers worked for me. And now it looks tightened enough..

Some feedback on this stand.
This stand is great, but not as easy as shown in the video. It takes little time to insert the stand in the slots and need some tricks. Also moving the bike once lifted is not so easy. Needs more efforts and not so easy as in video. But for me to keep my bike lifted in air this would be an option, because of space in my garage. I want to keep my bike in front of my car and there isn't so much space to turn the bike so that it is placed against the wall in front Of my car.

HI!
So... I bought this stand but I'm not sure about the instructions...
The stand comes with the "R" bolts that are these:

The adaptor comes with the "H" bolts:

I'm almost sure that I'm missing something here cause de "H" bolts are this size:

With the "H" bolts the adaptor plate is really loose and it feels that something is not right. I can't even fully screw the "R" bolts that are smaller.

Am I missing something here?

 

[NFRod]

I'm doing some youtube research and I think that I'm missing this one...

And that's why those bolts are so loose.

No problem with an Abba stand on the cb650f, easy to fit the stand fixings into the bike frame. Suzuki sv650a is a bit more difficult because you have to remove a plastic panel each side of the bike to fit the stand fixings into the frame.

 

[Old newbie D]

I'm using this stand now for some months and since then my bike is in the living room. Yes it is. As earlier mentioned it is a bit heavier to turn and so on but on an equal.
I didn't find any problems mounting the stand or plate for my cb 650. I ordered this in Italy. everything was correct.

Hello! Do you still use this stand? Or used it for a good period of time? How does it hold up? You said not easy to roll around, but just want to be sure it’s not due to your floor. Your floor is flat and smooth? Thanks

 

[Tony650r]

There seems to be a minority of people that say this stand is not good for the frame over long periods, because it only attaches to one side and the frame will flex. Any well informed opinions out there?

I've had my stand ~ 2 years now (2 seasons + current season)

Still holding up like the first day.
My garage floor is somewhat "rough" concrete with holes here and there. As long as one of the wheels does not get stuck in a hole it's easy enough to move. Not so easy that it would roll away from you though. You have to actively push it.

Can't agree with this. The only thing is that when looking from the back. The bike does tilt slightly to the right (away from the stand)

Haven't been worried by it so far. Doesn't move, flex, bend, twist, ... at all otherwise

Amazing! Thanks for the info. You keep it on there for off season/long periods?

No bike stays on the ground but probably not a problem either

Hi guys
For those who got this stand, does the bolt/tube that is installed on the bike interferes with riding, namely with the left leg or is it out of the way?

Not in the way
