Side Stand Extension
Has anyone else had problems with their side stand being too short after fitting longer dog bones?
I reckon another 20 or 30mm on the stand would be helpful, or I continue to carry around a block of wood...

Re: Side Stand Extension
It's the shorter dogbones that raise the ass, but yeah i brought the forks further up through the yokes to balance it out. That bought it back to nearly standard lean angle on the sidestand. Fitting the R1 front end got it standing up straighter more still.
If everything seems under control
your just not going fast enough.

Re: Side Stand Extension
I found this too before I dropped the front a corresponding amount to get it vaguely close to standard ride height, the advantage being it makes it sharper still and probably closer to YZF750 geometry

Hi Scotty!
You can mount a R1 side stand the same as I did - they're about 2 cm longer than the TRX and a straight fit.
But don't ask me what model year ...
Forgotten greetings from Munich!

Re: Side Stand Extension
Ah yes, sorry, the shorter dogbones. Dropped the forks another 10mm, made it all better.
Handles much better now too, thanks Kayla!
