So. I've been noticing the side stand on the R1 flexs a little. Just wondering if anyone has ever snapped on or if its easy to fit a stronger stand from another manufacturer. I mean I don't think its just going to break but I don't have the confidence to spin the bike around on the stand like i've seen people do (and i did on the old bike)

From experience... you can feel every one of those 200KG of R1 as it balances on your hip when they do let go.Trying to think of a wise and sincere signature quote, but the only words that leap to mind are, "TITTY SPRINKLES"Comment

First time I spun my 250 around on the stand I was impressed, haven't tried the big bike yet :p

How exactly does this spinning it on the side stand work?Comment

DO NOT do it on R1's.
The side stands are apparently made from the same material as the 2nd gear.Comment

When its on the stand pull the bike over more so the wheels are off the ground and all the wait is on the stand, then spin it to get out of a tight spot.Originally posted by timmy View Post
I've heard of an '02/'03 stand snapping.
How hard would it be to fit a different stand to it. Anyone do it before?Those who risk nothing, do nothing, achieve nothing, become nothing.Comment
