1.) side stand is up

3.) are you talking about the diaphragm inside the carbs? when i took the top half of the carbs apart and checked the diaphragms for tears/holes, there were none. one was mis shapen slightly and didnt want to fit back in its track but after about 30min and some lube i got it to fit back in track and closed it back up without pinching anything.(i drove it for probly 2-1/2 weeks after that and all was fine.
