If the mother in law comes around, hey great opportunity, go grease the centre stand. Got an important event in you're life you should be spending all of you're time preparing for like a wedding or birth of a child. Forget about it, go grease you're centre stand.... I found out the hard way, had to cut mine off with an angle grinder.

Whip your shaft out and lube it up good.

Is it just a Shaft/Pin that holds the whole thing?

Yes.
Pin sits in two lugs cast into the crankcase.

I did the center stand maintenance while in confinement- it was'nt getting back in place. Had I waited longer it would have surely seized- don't wait for this to happen! The pin was a bitch to get out- it bent with the pliers trying to get some leverage. Thankfully i was able to hammer it back in shape afterwards. Thanks GN2 for the tutorial...

Indeed they were.
So scary to think that "Whip it" was four decades ago.
Where did the time go?
