my spring came off my center stand how do i get it back on?

[Alleyoop]

Hook one end of the Spring up and then get a screwdriver and put it through the HOOK of the other end of the Spring and put the tip of the screwdriver on the part that it goes on and pull up on the screwdriver to slide the hook over where it belongs.

I would also suggest use a pair of channellock pliers to close up the hook ends of the spring so it dosent fall off again.

does my center stand look bent ?/

[vintner]

Yes, it is bent or it isn't being positioned (locked) right. It should be closer to vertical. If your foot step where you step the stand down into place was not there, it looks as it would go past center and up the other way towards the front. There should be a mechanical stop that should keep it from going past center (or plus or minus a few degrees off center).

If my Jonway wasn't STILL in the shop getting the plastics replaced, I would check the assembly to see what is there to offer suggestions.

Honestly, this looks like it could be difficult just because of the working conditions. If you could lay the bike in its side, it would be easier, but doing the repairs without some sold support to keep the bike in place while you make repairs is a very important step.

so can i fix my stand?

The metal used by the Chinese is not as quality as other scooter makers. So like in my situation, the frame slightly bent and to straighten it out, would cause further damage to the scooter. Mine is a MC-13-250 scooter and therefore has a kickstand and a centerstand. So I ride summer, spring, and fall on just the kickstand and place the centerstand back on the scooter, during the winter. Winter winds seem stronger overall, than other winds. Usually by 12 pm daily in the winter, the winds gust at 30 to 60 mph and can knock a scooter over. Need to centerstand to stop it from blowing it over.
