Re: A tip - a word to the wise
My Vstrom had a permanent fixture on the end of the stand. I cut a puck in half and attached it. Then ground down the sidestand stop to allow it to swing forward a bit more to retain the proper lean angle. Very stable and permanent.
Once while we were travelling I put the bike up on the centerstand at a motel with intentions of lubing the chain after unpacking. Came out later to find both tires on the ground and the sidestand sunk into their brand new day old paved parking area. I felt bad about the holes but even worse when I tried to lift the bike up and out of the holes. I honestly think the GZ next to the Vstrom was giggling a bit.
