#96349 crazydog (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 45 Bike lowering question 4 Years, 10 Months ago   I purchased the slam package from pacific road star and I call to yamaha service to have it installed tomorrow. They are telling me that I need to change the kickstand to a short one or modify the existing one, is this true?

Your scoot won't lean as much otherwise, and as much as it weighs, I'd rather keep it leaning like it's supposed to. My 2 cents.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #96572 crazydog (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 45 Re:Bike lowering question 4 Years, 10 Months ago   FYI, I took the bike to the local dealer, the switch the spring and the dogbones, and they did not change the kickstand, but they bent it a little bit so it stands better. I will post pictures later. Thanks all and best regards.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #96582 olskool (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 85 Re:Bike lowering question 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Pictures would be good..I have the same kit. I have been holding off, I am afraid I be dragging my pipes. I may just install the progressive spring and live with it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #96996 Hades02 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:Bike lowering question 4 Years, 10 Months ago   I have the Barons kit on mine and I did not change the kick stand. It still leans quite a bit. Have never had an issues even with the bars turned to the right. I have V&H Longshots and have never scraped my pipes. The boards always hit first. I am an aggressive rider and lean very far when cornering.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #97005 cartersta (User) jackncoke summer coolant, winter antifreeze Platinum Boarder Posts: 1581 Re:Bike lowering question 4 Years, 10 Months ago   i aint ever scraped my pipes, the floorboards once, you really have to just be aware of your bike, but it handles better   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97012 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9724 Re:Bike lowering question 4 Years, 10 Months ago   I think the stand is far enough forward that it is not affected too much, now if you lower the front also, that's a different story..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
