[antonye]

I found a side stand off my old 600SS in the back of the garage, so I've pulled it apart and cleaned it ready to put on to ebay this weekend.

Now I've put it back together, it feels like the sidestand is one of those auto-spring-up ones rather than one that will hold in position. Is this right? It's from a 1996 600 SS (carby) if that makes any difference?

I had a quick skim through the Haynes manual but couldn't find anything in there except one picture which shows the springs in the same position from what I could make out.

So, does your SS stand flip up once the weight is off it or do you have to kick it up? Do the springs look like they're fitted right?

Ta!
