Motorcycle Center Stands How-to Yamaha SR400

[@reelreeler8778]

back in the day had a '72 R75/5 and if I remember right it only had a center stand.....the center stand kept the tires from getting a flat spot.....good video, thanks

reelreeler Bucket list bike! I’ve seen lots of photos of old-time scoots that appeared to be center stand only. Something changed over the years. Anyhow, thanks for checking in, and for the kind words

Love seeing that sweet SR!

Eric Weber Thanks! I just saw a cafe seat/ tail tidy online that has me itching to do some wrenching : )

Poor Man's Motorcycle Club there are TONS of custom parts for these bikes available from Japan, check out Japan.webike.net for stuff that can actually be shipped to the US. The Vintage Spoke sells products from KEDO in Germany, another great source for SR stuff. I’ve wanted an SR for a mild custom project for a LONG time, so I’ve found a few resources. There are a lot of cool custom SR’s on the website BikeEXIF.com if you need some inspiration!

Hi, nice video! What brand seat do you have? I have an SR400 and don’t want to chop the frame. Your seat fits nice.

Thanks! Some off brand seat is pictured. I later replaced it with a Ellaspede. Love that even though it was expensive I’ll try to put up a picture

The old SR500s had a handle for this purpose.
