Honda VT750DC ACE

Task #08 - Side Stand

16 Service Interval and Recommended Maintenance Manual
The ACE is equipped with a side stand only, on the left
side of the bike. It only needs to be checked for damage
or loss of return spring tension and for the safety cut-out
switch proper operation.
Sit on the bike and keep it vertical. Check the side stand
for proper movement and for return spring tension. A
broken or damaged spring (1) can allow the side stand to
drop while riding, causing it to scrape and causing the
engine to quit.
To check the safety cut-out feature, sit on the bike and
turn the ignition on. With the side stand down, the side
stand light (6) on the tank gauge cluster should be
illuminated. Move the side stand up and the light should
go out.
Next, start the engine and with the clutch in, put the bike
in gear. Now lower the side stand... the engine should
stop as soon as you lower it.
