Sidestand

Anyone else feel like the bike sits a bit too upright when on the sidestand? Mine doesn't really tip very far at all. I haven't checked the eccentric to make sure it's at the bottom of the spin. If it is, I'm going to be looking for a slightly shorter sidestand. Just for my own piece of mind.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity

The bike get's STUPID heavy if you lean it too much further. It sits pretty upright, but it seems to be enough to be stable.

When I loaded mine down for my MotoGP trip (viewtopic.php?t=269) I noticed it was really standing up straight. So much so that I had to be careful at gas pumps, if the ground slipped away from the pump the I had to make sure the kickstand was on the down slope side of the bike. But my suspension hadn't been adjusted from stock yet. Now that I have the suspension set for my weight it sits a little higher.
