Stupid sidestand

Hi guys,

Has anyone found the need to shorten their sidestand?

I have a lot of trouble out in the bush because my bike seems to sit too upright. :x
I have an 05 FE650 std height.

I feel i need to shorten the stand by about 12- 19 mm (1/2-3/4 inch) but i am worried about fuel loss from a vent hose.

Can someone tell me how long a Motard stand is or can they measure theirs if they are lucky enough to have one.

cheers Todd
 
how much static sag do you have? i wouldn't cut it, i'd bend it out a bit (easier to put back when you find out what's really wrong)
 
mine lays right over but i do have the preload set correctly. ned is on the money.

check your sag heights as per the book or tell us the spring codes here and also your weight.

something isn't right as ned says: with your suspension.

regards

Taffy
