Sjthjs Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi, I recently noticed that when I rest my xvs 650 on its stand, the bracket flexed slightly as it takes the weight. Dunno if its something I've just not noticed before or if its something I need to worry about. It only flexes slightly, not like its bending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I would say mine flexes ALARMINGLY... But they all do that, so nowt to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherat Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Just don't sit on it side saddle aka Steve Mcqueen/James Dean trying to impress the gash, it might snap and dump you on your ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Somewhere on the forum there is a photo of me doing that exact thing... or there was, at least. Threads have been disappearing. Anyway, it was posed specifically for Goff , who was suitably impressed. Dunno if I'd refer to her as 'gash', as I believe she's a FAR more sophisticated and empowered entity than the utterly dehumanising term 'gash' suggests.... But even the actual gash are impressed when I am thusly sat. The trick is to have your leg(s) on the left side of the bike and either sit or recline in a manner that exerts a supportive pressure toward the right side, thus having minimal weight actually on the stand itself.
