Yesterday, after a short ride, bike stood there with grime splashed upon it, and me with at least an hour to spare, began to clean and look over it. I greased the prop stand bolt as best I could. But it is very wobbly. Can anyone advise which bit is it that wears, I guess the bolt. So, will a bolt replacement tighten up the sloppy affair? I really dont want it to get so bad that it falls over!
Cheers

It's a bit of everything!!The plate that bolts to the engine,the stand itself,and the bolt.
Most wear occurs from non lubrication.
Try the bolt method first tho....then move onto the expensive options after :D
