Product Information

Full details

The R&G M8 Paddock Stand Bobbins in Silver are designed for motorcycle owners who need a secure and stable platform for rear paddock stand use during maintenance. Their key benefit is the enlarged collar design, which simplifies alignment onto the stand for a more secure lift. A potential caveat is that they are specifically designed for use with R&G Elevation series paddock stands and M8 thread sizes.

FAQs

What is the primary function of these paddock stand bobbins?

Their primary function is to provide a secure mounting point on your motorcycle's swingarm for a compatible rear paddock stand, allowing for stable lifting during maintenance.

Are these bobbins compatible with all paddock stands?

These bobbins are specifically designed to work best with R&G Elevation series paddock stands. While they may fit others, optimal compatibility and safety are ensured with R&G stands.

What size thread do these bobbins use?

These bobbins use an M8 thread size, meaning they are designed for motorcycles with M8 threaded inserts in their swingarms.

Do I need to buy these in pairs?

Yes, they are supplied and sold as a pair, providing the necessary symmetrical support for lifting the rear of your motorcycle.

Can I use these bobbins for front paddock stand use?

No, these are specifically designed as rear paddock stand bobbins for the swingarm. Front paddock stands typically use different mounting points.

How often should I check my bobbins?

It is recommended to check them periodically, especially before each use, to ensure they are still securely fastened and show no signs of damage or excessive wear.

What maintenance is required for the bobbins?

Basic care involves cleaning them with a damp cloth if they get dirty. Ensure they remain tightened to the swingarm and inspect for wear.

Troubleshooting

Bobbins do not screw into swingarm.

Verify that your motorcycle has M8 threaded inserts in the swingarm. Ensure the inserts are clean and free of debris. If your motorcycle uses a different thread size, these bobbins will not be compatible.

Paddock stand does not engage correctly with bobbins.

Ensure you are using an R&G Elevation series rear paddock stand, as these bobbins are optimized for them. Check that the bobbins are fully and securely screwed into the swingarm. Confirm the paddock stand's forks are correctly aligned with the bobbins.

Wobbling or instability when bike is on the stand.

Check that both bobbins are equally tightened into the swingarm. Ensure the paddock stand itself is on a stable, level surface. Inspect the bobbins and stand for any damage or wear.
