Sidestand Lean
Hi all,
This is my first post here, having found this forum after buying a 1995 KLE500. Sorry to leap straight in with a question.
When the bike's on the sidestand, it seems to lean too far over so I wanted to check to see if this is normal. Other possibilities that I can think of are that the rear might be jacked up or it might have the wrong sidestand.
This shows the bike on the sidestand. Getting on is easy enough, but getting it upright can be tricky. Hopefully it shows the extra lean. Sorry about the towel, why do we all cover our number plates for photos?
This seems more like it, but it's stood on a 30mm block of wood.
This is the sidestand. It looks the same as images of others, but I don't know if other models have similar but shorter ones. Measuring towards the back, it's around 240mm from the bottom of the foot to around the centre of the fixing bolt.
