Sidestand Length?

Subject: Sidestand Length? Mon Jun 08, 2009 7:52 am

Does anybody know if the sidestand on the R is longer than the X? I just got a set of offroad rims for my X, and now that the bike is taller it rests at a crazy angle when on the sidestand. I'll try to post a pic when I can. The Yamaha online parts catalog lists different part #'s for the R and X sidestands. Is one longer?

The X stand is shorter. Also when you lower the R², the kickstand doesn't work quite as well. I still have mine; Ijust park it where it's still able to hold up the bike.

Someone has their thinking cap on. Anyone with a lowered R want to swap??? I don't want to have to look for a rock every time I get off the bike... baldy
