First, my stand is not a bursig per se, It's a Moto MFG stand with a bursig adapter plate. But seeing as the stands are almost identical it works well enough.
I wanted to see if any other owner's bikes lean to the side when raised up (fig. 1)
It looks like a lot of load is being focused on that extended lift bolt (Fig 2)
I'm already seeing a shiny spot being formed from the weight of the bike deforming the metal. It makes me worry that this is far too much load for that mounting point. Do any other owners have some long term use feedback about how theirs is fairing?
I also wanted to make note of a more engineering based critique I have of the design and see if anyone here has a more extensive background than myself and could offer some feedback. I did run a skim cut along both sides of the plate and the edges because the surface condition was just awful. That's why its shiny and has no plating.
Looking at the adapter plate (fig. 3) It's joined to the lifting mechanism by one main bolt that goes through a slot feature on the adapter. But why a slot feature? If the full load of the bike is resting on that one bolt why is it not a hole or more ideally a bushing with a shoulder bolt. It seems like the only thing keeping the plate from sliding down is the torque from the bolt keeping the plates together. But even that is only being transferred to the plate through two small sections where the washer contacts the plate as opposed to the full circumference of the washer contacting if it was just a hole feature. Same goes for the lower mounting point shouldn't it share is distributing the load from the top. I know at some level they were slotted to make room for adjustments when fitting up to the bike, but could center to center measurements really be that different for bikes of the same model?
