Check on a recall for the OEM centre stand. I believe there was an issue with the circlip on early units. All other components in the kit were fine. Circlips are not expensive if they need to be replaced. If the kit is newer the clips will be fine. I am not sure how to distinguish between the clips. Someone here may be able to tell us.

I hope you verified the correct OEM center stand for your bike. There's one for the AT and one for the ATAS.

And a drum brake spring installer tool makes quick work installing both springs.

 

Yea, me too. I believe its the correct one (and has the correct snap ring. part number ends in G51) , Honda part number 08M70-MJP-G51.

Bike is a 2017 AT DCT.

let me know if you think I F'd up.

I do have a spring installer, we use them a lot when removing exhaust springs on our snowmobiles. hopefully that does the trick

 

What were your issues with the OM stuff? I removed the OM center stand from mine. It wasn't horrible, but it WAS NOT good. An SW-Motech center stand, which uses an ingenious simple design to pull the spring taught, is 100% easier to get up onto and has way more clearance.

 

... like morning fresh butter.

 

The center stand I recently bought for my 19 AT was part # 08M70-MKK-D01.

That's the stand for after 2017. Your part number shows for 16-17, and instructions show revised in 2018.

I don't see that you posted a year for your bike, but if you looked it up for 16-17, I imagine it's the right height.

I'd be curious to know exactly what the difference is between those two stands.

 

Yea, its a 2017 AT DCT

 

Get down the gym mate, those springs are buggers. I still have nightmares 🥴

 

Im hoping my spring puller/hook will make it easier, they work wonders on these things
