So in my wisdom i tried replacing the right hand side center stand bolt. I really should have had good look and think about it.
Springs pulled that side up tight so holes arnt aligned and its next too impossible to hold it in place for the new bolt.

You get enough clearance on the centre stand to pull the back wheel? My 350 sits on both tyres when the stand is down (so I fashioned a nice plinth for working on it at home - not much use out and about though... )

You can usually find a stone or lump of wood kicking around if you need to remove the real wheel Some tip the bike over on the side stand- never tried it myself but i would imagine sliding the wheel back in could be a little fiddlyDave_S_MT wrote:You get enough clearance on the centre stand to pull the back wheel?

The other thing to remember is that if you have a soft or flat rear tyre, the bike is that bit lower so you may need to be inventive to raise the wheel enough the get it onto the centre stand Rolling it onto a stone works Keep It Simple Once there you can tilt the bike over, slide a wedge under one side of the centre stand then do the same on the other side
