Should the Busa lean this far on the kickstand?

[99'busa]

turn your wheel to the right and it will reduce the angle. I've seen other look like that too. I always think their bike is gonna tople over Now I'm surprise to see that shinko on a factory height or even a pos. +1 bike. Did you have that tire put on?

[BusaWizard]

Looks a little extreme to me.

Is that a SHINKO Tire

that bike is leaning over too far something aint right with that kickstand. ???

[Spudley]

It leans to far unless it has a +1 link on it..

Exactly. Mine leans that far, and I have the +1's on the back end. :oldcool: After a while, you simply stop noticing. I clean the pivot and keep it greased for the least amount of stress to the bolt and surrounding bracket assembly. The stock stand is more than capable of holding. Now, I wish someone would offer up a stock stand 1" longer....and that would suit me fine.

Too much lean to be stock.

[busaonboost]

no it doesnt. the more it leans the more weight is on the kickstand. so if you park in say a soft spot of blacktop it is more likely to fall over.

[DC TONY]

the lean is to much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ranger]

its leaning to far to the left its a liberal busa

Thats funny right there!

[GoAWOL]

Seems a bit much to me for stock....

looks like mine, but i have +1" raising links on the rear.

It does look like the kick stand has been tweaked(pic) ,know anyone near-by you can compare with?Based on that pic your bike will levitate with the mod!???good luck

[MelodicMetalGod]

There's an ovious solution - never stop riding!

You guys are good. I didn't even know that was a Shinko tire - never even checked it - just saw it had good tread. It's a 180/55ZR17 model 73ZW. Looking on the web I see that Shinko used to Yokohama, but other than that I don't know. Maybe it's a pretty cheap tire the former owner put on to hide the drag racing he was doing on the old tire!

I don't think this tire would have ever hit my radar screen if I were shopping, but the reviews on the net aren't too bad.

Post a pic from the side view... can't see the angle of the stand from the rear.

[ky busa]

it leans more than mine and i done the kickstand mod

[Billy Busa]

lower your busa a couple inches

[BusaWhipped]

looks like mine, but i have +1" raising links on the rear.

+another 1. Measure from the center of the exhust hanger bolt to the center of the rear axel. If it 10.5", the bike's +1" in the back.

I think your Busa is trying to drag a knee without you.
