INSTALLATION
Shifter Side, Left
WARNING
Block or jack vehicle under frame in a way that the vehicle will not fall over. Failure to properly block and/or raise the vehicle could result in death or serious injury. (00462c)
1. Block the motorcycle under the frame so that it is upright and level, with the weight off of the jiffy stand.
2. Remove footpeg.
3. Remove jiffy stand, shifter linkage and bracket per applicable Service Manual instructions, retaining hardware.
4. See Figure 5. Obtain the new left side shifter bracket (2), and three TORX® screws (3) from the kit.
5. Place washers previously removed on the screws. Apply LOCTITE® 243 (Blue) to the threads, and install the new bracket assembly to the motorcycle frame. Tighten the screws to 54.2 N·m (40 ft-lbs).
6. See Figure 5. Install footpeg with spring washer (8), clevis pin (10) and retaining ring (9).
WARNING
If leg stop is incorrectly installed, excessive wear can allow vehicle to fall when rested on jiffy stand, which could result in death or serious injury. (00479b)
7. Install jiffy stand and attach the spring. When properly installed, the hook on the spring side connected to the bracket will face upward.
8. Verify that rubber bumper is in place on prong of jiffy stand. Without the bumper, the stand will make hard contact with the primary drive cover when retracted, which may result in damage to the cover.

12. Make sure that the rear brake master cylinder is in a level position. Remove the master cylinder cover.
13. Bleed the brakes. See BLEEDING HYDRAULIC BRAKES in the Service Manual.
WARNING
After servicing brakes and before moving motorcycle, pump brakes to build brake system pressure. Insufficient pressure can adversely affect brake performance, which could result in death or serious injury. (00279a)

The jiffy stand locks when placed in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it. If the jiffy stand is not in the full forward (down) position with vehicle weight on it, the vehicle can fall over which could result in death or serious injury. (00006a)
15. Move the jiffy stand to the full forward (down) position. Carefully remove the support from beneath the motorcycle frame and rest the motorcycle on the jiffy stand.
16. Make sure the jiffy stand operates correctly prior to riding the motorcycle.
WARNING
After repairing the brake system, test brakes at low speed. If brakes are not operating properly, testing at high speeds can cause loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00289a)
