Side stand

Kebzo · Oct 28, 2020

In your opinions is the design of side stand on new V4 models strong enough to hold up bike and the full weight of a 200 lbs rider who is sitting on top of bike with both feet on the rear sets?
Design has side stand attached to rear sets which are bolted (2) to engine case and supported also by swing arm.
Attachments to engine case makes me nervous.
Thanks

I have sat on my bike with the side stand down for extended periods of time waiting for ferries and whatnot. Never had an issue, however, I might have been playing with fire. I have never used it to pivot the bike around, it just feels unstable with that kind of load put on it.

Thanks for that.

i believe the V2 manual says not to sit on the bike using the side stand. i can look up the page if you need it.

Hi
That’s ok.
I have a manual.
Regardless I’ve done it already and bike hasn’t fallen.
Thanks
