Side Stand

[Mevorach]

I am looking for a way to improve the angel of the bike when parking. It has a feeling like it going to fall each time i am parked

increasing the lean angle is not a great idea with such a heavy machine. I’ve not felt the need to change it to be honest. the bike feel very stable as standard, at least for me.

Whenever I park in a spot without enough lean I move to a different spot before I get off my bike.

Same here. I either look for a slight depression for the sidestand or a high spot for the front wheel. I'm used to doing that from my KTM 1290 SDR wich had a long sidestand and was very light. Sometimes it looked vertical and I could see it swaying in the wind. I also tried to park with the wind blowing the bike onto the stand, not the other way round.
I've noticed a lot of bikes these days, especially sports bikes, have long stands and sit very upright.

I guess you never had a Harley

They had to change it in 3 degrees that's all . like Harleys . It has to be a way to change it

I had my side stand cut down to increase the lean. Had it that way almost 3 years now. Love it.

Blowing in the wind - the need for a revised kickstand

i think that stand is ok...when youre riding on the left as we do, you park on the left hand side of the road with the front of the bike heading to about 11 oclock...the stand is fine then. For you guys who ride on the right hand side of the road, you probably park with the front of the bike...
