Side stand in two wheelers support the entire weight of the vehicle when it is
parked. They are perfect on quick stops when one needs to leave the vehicle
for a short while. They are provided with a spring that pulls it back into position to
Some times the person who drives the two wheeler may forgot to release the
side stand. This will tend to un wanted danger and lack of concentration
while driving.
Nowadays sensors are used for ensure that the stand is in released condition
or not by indicating it using small lights in stash board. There is also a possibility
two wheelers without releasing the side stand . This may suitable for all kind of
two wheelers which are driven in gear system with low cost.
INTRODUCTION

Today, Motor cycles are used everywhere in all over the world. Designer
should design each and every component in the two wheelers with very at most
safe and the product should be economical. In motor cycles, the side stand plays
major roll while the vehicle is in rest condition. While the driver starting the motor
cycle, there may be a possibility of forget to release the side stand. This will tend
to unwanted troubles. To avoid this the driver has to ensure that the side stand is
released.
This problem may be rectify by releasing the side stand when the gear
shifting. Because while gear shifting time, the leg is in safe and comfortable place.
SIDE STAND
Side stand in two wheelers support the entire weight of the vehicle when it is
parked. They are perfect on quick stops when one needs to leave the vehicle for a
short while. They are provided with a spring that pulls it back into position to
ensure extra safety.

When the time gear shifting the leg will be in safe zone. So the automatic
The extension spring which is used to release the side stand should be
properly selected in order to make it with the capability of withstand the load.
The cost of making the model was calculated. Because the vehicle cost
should not be increased due to this setup which will be kept in the side stand.
Weight of the materials which are used must me limited. So the weight of

The type of gear shifting whether forward or backward also taken as account
for control the trigger movement.
The space in the vehicle(near the side stand) to fix the design is focused.
CONSTRUCTION
The two wheeler side stand is connected with the L-shape rod by welding as
shown in fig 2.1. The top of the L-shape rod is connected with one end of the
spring and the other end of the spring is connected at the left side of the stand.
Normally the spring is under tension during standing condition of the bike.
But if we release the side stand , the spring will come to its normal condition.
trigger is provided at the top of the L-shape rod. The trigger motion is restricted
with in certain angle as shown in fig 2.1. Trigger set up is connected with the gear
shifting rod by means of a cable. For this purpose a brake cable is used.
In the trigger to allow the vertical up and down motion, there is a key way is
provided. A rivet is fixed into the keyway in order to give rotary movement to the
trigger. The has to restrict the motion of the L-shape rod while the standing
condition of the vehicle. So there is piece of rod which is act as a stopper for the
5
trigger. This will not allow the trigger to rotate completely.
For every gear shifting, the trigger has to come back to its original position.
This may be achieved by providing a small compressive spring at the top of the
trigger.
WORKING
While the motor cycle is in standing condition, the spring connected with the
the tension spring will try to pull the L-shape rod in downward direction as shown
in fig(a).
In standing condition the L-shape rod should be in vertical position. For this
purpose an external trigger is used to control the movement of the L-shape rod.
While the gear rod is shifted from neutral to first gear, the cable connected is
pulled along with the gear rod. So the trigger which is connected with the another
end of the cable is also pulled upward direction. So the restriction offered by the
trigger to the L-shape rod is removed. Now the spring can easily pull the L-shape
rod. The L-shape rod travels around 100 degrees. Due to this the side stand
connected with the L-shape also rotates around 100 degrees. This will release the
side stand. Also the extension spring comes back to its original compressed state.

CONCLUSION
From the above details of the project the following conclusions are found.
1. By making the side stand which can be released while shifting gear

7. Instead of using sensors, it will reduce the cost. Also the stand can be
automatically released.
