I've had this 1979 R65 for 2 years now. Quick history, the frame is from an R65 but has a rebuilt R100/7 engine. So far, I've ridden the bike for 6400 miles in the last 2 years. I started the bike to warm it up before going out for a ride today. I always use the center stand when parking the bike. As I pushed the bike forward, the center stand would not go up. It's just dragging on the floor. There is a spring on the right side and none on the left. I never really attention to the center stand before so I don't remember if there was one on the left side, to begin with. I posted a BEFORE pic. It's too hard to tell. I'm currently using tie-ups to keep the center stand up.
Has anybody encountered this situation before? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
