Center stand vibrating

10 Aug 2010 03:52

The center stand on my KZ305 has started vibrating loudly at around 3500 RPM. It seems to be coming from the spot where the stand touches the left exhaust pipe. Is there supposed to be a rubber bumper or something between these?

On mine the metal of the center stand is in direct contact with the pipe. Surely that's not how it was designed?

Yeah, that's what I figured. But I wasn't sure what it was called.

Ok, found some dampers online. It just looks like a little rubber foot. Do I need any hardware to attach it to the stand or does it just pop in there?
