another 05 two oh no question

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Thu Oct 08, 2009 11:33 am

currently my friend has the standard stand.... should he be replacing it?
(I think he should as it does sit bolt upright but....)

also, he says he actually has to get off the bike to deploy the stand - this normal? i know i can deploy the falco one while sitting on the bike so....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I'd never get off the bike until I'd flicked the stand out - getting on or off is when you and the bike are least stable (except for mid-crash of course) - having the stand out and ready is highly advisable IMHO

.... and I think the 2ohno and mille both suffer similar stand issues to the Falco and benefit from it being changed.
