Should the stand automatically retract when you stand the bike up? When I first obtained the bike, the springs and the curved piece of metal that the springs attach to, were up the other way. Meaning the piece of curved metal was attached to the lug on the stand it's self and the hooks on the end of the spring were attached to the lug on the bike frame. It didn't look right to me as this had the springs wrapping around the pivot bolt causing the springs to deform and sustain some damage. The picture is not very clear (Sorry), but you may notice 2 springs. One of which is inside the other. This causes the hook on the end of one of the springs to easily slip off the lug on the stand. Perhaps this is because of the damage the springs have sustained or maybe the wrong springs/setup. Can anybody offer any suggestions please?
Cheers

PS Change of topic but, what is the average cylinder compression pressure people are getting please.

Stand setup in your pic is good.
Pressure: Between 10-11 (forgotten what it`s measured in...).

What Nicola is saying is to watch the plugs over time to see what color they become.

There is a good amount of information in the 750 Paso FAQ at the top oif the 750 forum about the weber and trying to tune it.

That's probably 5 inches Hg (mercury). I have never put a vacuum guage on my bikes only a carb stick. It's a very small manifold and only 1 cylinder so little vacuum to work with.
