Side stand extension for soft ground
« on: November 01, 2022, 10:36:29 PM »

Last week I tried the DSR/X and, among other things, I noticed that its side stand had a larger pad area than my SR/F. Makes sense for a machine that is also meant to be taken offroad.

Since I wouldn't mind having something a bit larger as well, is anyone already using an extender? Looking that up on AliExpress brings tons of choices, but all pretty specific to a brand and model, nothing for Zero Motorcycles.

Get one of the little ones shaped like like tiny Converse All Star shoes.

R&G Racing makes one for the SR/F and SR/S.  Twisted Throttle carries them.

Um... if you don't care about aesthetics, a crushed pop can (.... and I have no idea why they say the video may be "inappropriate for some viewers".... sheesh) works really well and nothing else suitably appropriate is cheaper or easier to replace...  (No that's not my video but that's how you do it).

Thanks for your tips guys. Along with the velcro strap I already use as my parking brake, that looks like being another of those simple solutions.

I put a side stand foot from Touratech on my SuperTenere back in 2012. During a trip to Baja, I was the only one who could park normally in some restaurant and hotel parking lots. Everyone else was trying to find small pieces of wood. :)
