Paddock Stand Bobbins - probably a silly question - SV650.org

appollo1 · 12-01-10, 10:02 PM

Ok this is probably a really silly question but are the bobbins the same ones you use front and rear?

Sid Squid · 12-01-10, 10:16 PM

Which front bobbins are you referring to?
Do you mean the crash bobbins fitted through a hollow spindle?

erm - crash bobbins????

are they not the same a paddock stand bobbins

No, not necessarily.

There are some rear crash bungs, ie for the swingarm, that are also intended as bobbins for use with a paddock stand.

I've never seen front crash bobbins that are also intended as stand bobbins, (ordinarily these are fitted with a long stud that passes right through the front wheel spindle, which obviously will need to be hollow, and which the SV650 hasn't got).
There are some front stands that use a bracket that fits to the spindle clamps, (which also wouldn't suit the SV650 as there's only a clamp on one side), but they're not the most commonly found variety, and I haven't seen one for some time.
The most common type of front stand does not require bobbins or brackets but lifts the bike under the end of the fork legs.

Those that fit into the hole under the headstock seem much more solid.

more confused now YC

ok you can screw paddock stand bobbins into the holes on the rear swingarm

but

there are the same holes at the front forks so i was wondering if you could use the same sort of bobbins that you put on the rear onto the front.

does that make more sense?

I think YC is referring to the paddock stand that slots into the fork crown.

The front sliders/bobbins I have seen go on a threaded bar through the spindle of the front wheel and I dont think they are for lifting with.
