Paddock stands doesnt hold bike straight

[Felix]

Hi guys, On even bike I've owned and every paddock stand I've owned it never holds my bike straight, It looks like its going to fall over.
Both holders and aligned and can't go any further back. It's an expensive paddock stand too.

Thanks

Yes it should sit straight, have you checked the obvious, bobbins in the right place, hooks on the stand sat straight and located properly on the bobbins, floor flat(!!) etc...

Never had that issue , something clearly not right with set up somewhere.

 

[Felix]

Hard to see in this but it tilts to the right

lol, theres nothing wrong with that. thats not falling anywhere.

 

[Felix]

Honestly it is bad in person, Pictures are showing it.

I think you need a plumb line to demonstrate, looks fine to me and I use a Harris.
Where are the bobbins in the frame?

and tidy your garage.

 

[Felix]

You can see in first picture that it is tilting

 

[r25sti]

are the stand uprights the same length and vertical.

Have you checked the wheels on both sides of the stand are the same worn rate and they are located correctly in relation to the axles?

If all else fails I would put a spirit level across the stand starting at the floor and work up to find where it is out.

 

[Felix]

It's the floor guys, just leveled it. Cheers

It's probably a good idea to buy a new one? You could consider the ABBA centre stand, it's all singing and dancing that one

Around ?85-100, so yes I suppose they are. Having said that, it's cheaper than a repair bill! I've got an Oxford stand, ?35 (bought it 10 years ago) it's spot on.

You missed my sarcasm at the ABBA all singing and dancing reference, lol.
