Having read what to look out for on the R1200gs I decided to check out the countersunk head screws on the main stand as I have never done so before. On the left side the screw head was standing proud of the stand inside instead of a flush fit so I removed the complete stand because I suspected something was wrong. The threads on the right side had to be heated with a head gun because the blue gummy locking agent would not release and the broken off thread piece still stuck in pivoting collar drilled out.
Bought two new bolts @ R2 each from SC Bolt Old bolts 8.8ts new bolts 10.9ts Refitting that two main stand springs is a nightmare!
