[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 702921, member: 6354"] Alway look the sidestand down, put an eyeball on it before you put any weight on it. Don't use it if the bike's facing downhill and in neutral. And if you think your bike will fall in grass on the sidestand, just wait till you put it up on the narrower centerstand, both feet sink till the rear's on the ground, and it still sinks to one side and falls over. The centerstand feet are closer to the bike's centerline, which will result in a fall from a lower-angle lean. On any decent surface the sidestand is MUCH more stable. I understand it when people have a problem with the centerstand. It's barely got the leverage it needs to raise the bike, and if you've lowered your bike it's even worse. But people who complain about this bike's sidestand; I just don't get that at all. All you have to do is look at it, make sure it's there, and don't park in neutral. [/QUOTE]
