Happy Holidays Bird world. Love the BB hate the center stand. Ive had the bike come off the stand while just cleaning it. Got lucky and caught it by the grab handle. Still caused a large pucker in my shorts. I have a fork stand I used with my old ZX10 but cant use it because the center stand is to short. I could use some help on getting the Bird off the ground and know its going to stay there.

Well, I am not sure if you can, but see if there is a way to tighten it up. I have done some pretty serious maintenance on the bird while it was on the center stand and have never had a problem. Also you could try putting a chalk in front of the front tire. Now this is all just if you want to keep the center stand. I am going to be taking mine off once I get the new exhaust so I will also be looking for a swingarm stand.

Falcon, I think you mean "chock" (as in wheel chock). Somehow I don't think a little white line scrawled on the floor in front of the front tire is going to keep the bike from rolling forward off the stand.

I have never had an issue with the bike even coming close to dropping of the centrestand and I have the 6mm shim installed.

Add a set of spools and use a Pit Bull stand.....makes it very stable that s what I did when I put on the Akropovic full Ti system. |
