Tonik Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Is that center stand going to hit before the footpeg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have scraped footpegs and panniers but never the center stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Interesting, in that last pic looks like it is going to scrap even before your left foot does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so but not one time have I touched the center stand in a corner. I also ride the bike in its lowest suspension setting because I am vertically challenged. I have only touched foot pegs a few times and the right pannier once. Now the Multistrada used to scrape the center stand all over when I first installed it. Then it finally ground enough metal to keep it off the road in corners. Never once touched a peg down on that bike. I only touched my left pannier when I fell over after hitting that Mazda on the BRP. Doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The center stand is closer to the center so as you lean it does not close the distance to the ground as fast as the pegs which are further out.

It has zero flaws minus being a tad under sprung. It's faster than I am, for sure. I moved through the gap faster than I ever have and with less effort than while riding the Supersport, 748 or the Multistrada. My last solid run was on the FZ6 chasing you. I hadn't ridden it that quick on any of the Ducs. This time was considerably quicker. Never touched a peg.
