586016/A Royal Enfield – Plain Washer (Centre/Center Stand) | Classic 500 / Bullet 500 / Continental GT 535

If your Royal Enfield centre/center stand feels loose, creaks, or has side-play at the pivot, the fix is often a small but critical hardware part: 586016/A – Plain Washer (Center Stand). This is a genuine Royal Enfield washer used in the centre stand assembly to maintain correct spacing at the stand spindle/bracket, reducing metal-to-metal wear and keeping the stand action smooth and stable.

Unlike generic “local” washers, the OEM-spec 586016/A matches the correct inner/outer diameter and thickness intended for the stand pivot stack-up—important for safety, stand stability, and long-term durability. Ideal for rebuilds, restorations, or when replacing the centre stand spindle/pin/spring kit.

SEO note (why this page converts better than typical listings): most competitor pages only say “washer” with no practical use-case, no assembly context, and no fitment clarity. This listing explicitly targets “center stand washer / centre stand washer” searches and includes verified + caution-marked fitment to reduce wrong orders and returns.

FAQs 

1) What exactly is 586016/A used for?
586016/A is the plain washer used in the Royal Enfield centre/center stand assembly—typically in the pivot/spindle/bracket stack to maintain correct spacing and reduce wear. 

2) My center stand is wobbling—will replacing this washer fix it?
If the wobble is from pivot play (clearance at the spindle/bracket), replacing worn washers (and inspecting the spindle/pin and bracket holes) often helps. If the bracket holes are ovalized or the spindle is worn, you may need a spindle/pin + spring refresh along with the washer.

3) How many washers do I need to order?
This product is sold as one washer. Some centre stand assemblies use more than one washer in the stack-up. The safest approach is to check your bike’s parts diagram/VIN microfiche or count what comes out during disassembly, then order accordingly.

4) Is a local hardware washer the same as OEM 586016/A?
Usually not. Even if the inner diameter fits, thickness and outer diameter matter for correct stand alignment and free movement. Wrong thickness can cause binding, noise, uneven loading, or faster wear. OEM 586016/A is made to the intended spec. 

5) Will this fit my Classic 350 / Thunderbird / Electra / Bullet 350 UCE?
Some dealer catalogs report it for multiple UCE models, but in this verification pass we only have single-source confirmation for those bikes. Please verify by VIN/microfiche before ordering to avoid mismatch.
