Side stand leaning angle.

[Tracer1234]

Hi All, Just a random question, mainly for any Striple owners. Does anyone else find that it stands really upright when on the stand. It doesn't seem to lean over very far at all and I get worried about it when parked in certain places that isn't dead flat.

Any Ideas?

Leaving it in gear won't help much but it is something I do by habit.


I don't think the ST has ride height adjustment but you could also check if you're using the right amount of pre-load. It's unlikely you've got it completely unwound unless you are Dani Pedrosa. i.e featherweight.

A brief websearch mentions people cutting sidestands down and welding the foot back on.
Think I'd just keep a lookout for suitable parking spots with adverse camber. Gutters spring to mind.

45 degrees to the road, back tyre touching kerb works well for finding sufficient lean and not having the bike roll away.

Go into your nearest Triumph dealers and ask them for a short stand. They should have you sorted out within 5-10 minutes.

Known issue with Hayabusas. Most people grind/file the stop a little so the stand swings further forward. Makes the bike lean a bit further and makes the bike much less likely to roll off the stand.
