Could the SV side stand break off
Saw a dealer pull a bike out of the line up by swinging it and pivoting it
on the side stand. How much abuse will the stand take? Have seen bikers sitting on their bike held up only by the side stand. Anyone heard of a side stand or lug breaking off. |

Re: Could the SV side stand break off
not heard of one coming off, but I'm sure someone will have done. I to sit on the bike while it is just supported by the side stand, not had any problems yet. (now I've done it)

Re: Could the SV side stand break off
Oh, im sure it could break off, but only if there was damage to it.
I leap all over my bike when im locking it up, nothing happened to it yet. The stands are wonderfully over engineered  Ledgend has it that stands on certain ducati models have a rather substantial amount of flex in them Matt |

Re: Could the SV side stand break off
After cringing watching Yorkie Chris turn a bike on a sidestand a full 360 over and over and over again...I have now been convinced that they are made out of some alien superstrenghened metal
