 Posted: 12:05 - 07 Jul 2017 Post subject: Help finding crash in to garden caused by side stand please |
 |
|
There was a video a while ago where a guy goes to turn left but you can hear scrapping, presumably from a side stand, and he goes pretty much straight in to someones garden and drops a few feet to their sunken path.
Anyone know the one I mean and where to find it? I looked through first few pages of videos and didn't spot it. Just wanted to show a couple people as one was talking of bypassing side stand switch.

Not the one you are talking about, but this infamous Ducati 996 SPS crash is because of leaving the sidestand down. The guy admits it, and if you pause it at 0:37 as he looks down to the left you can see the sidestand still down. You also hear it scraping just before the crash. ____________________

I think they were transfixed by his subsequent dance moves. |

Ducati stands never used to stay down without the weight of the bike on them. They were notorious for falling over, if the wind caught them and lifted enought weight off, the stand would flip up.
No switch on my enfield and I do periodically leave it down, never actually been a consequence other than mildly crapping myself. Also have the switch disconnected on the VFR due to electrical gremlins. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Kind of almost similar (but no help to OP)..... but all of my bikes up until the ninja refused to start if the bike was in gear and the side stand was down. I don't know if it's a fault or just the way the zx9r e's were designed..... but a couple of times I've started the bike, put it in gear and let the clutch out only for it to stall...... THEN realise I've left the side stand down  |

What about the people who have had accidents because of intermittant cutting in and out of the engine due to a faulty side-stand switch halfway round a corner in the pissing rain.
This will have happened, almost certainly more times than it's attributed to, probably would show all the signs of rider error.
In general, a forgotten sidestand incident tends to happen at low speeds.
I do remember seeing one model of bike had a sidestand that retracted when you pulled the clutch in (mechanically, a branch off the clutch cable).
Older bikes used to have the sidestand mounted much further back, even on the swingarm. If you forgot to put these up, they flicked up as soon as they touched the road. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.
