R1100S Centre stand options?

Postby KTM AL » Fri Jul 09, 2021 6:43 pm

Hello Chaps
I have raised the rear a tadge buy using a GS torque arm , so now the rear wheel touches the ground when the bike is on centre stand. Not wanting to extend the rather rare stand I have , I was wondering if another more common (cheaper) stands from one of the other R bikes in the range fit or be made to fit . Cheers

I use a plank to lift the wheel off the ground, unless you buy an ABBA stand .

Hi Chaps Thank for your replies. I have a cunning plan , fix 2 pieces of 6mm ali plate to the bottom of the stand with a couple of small nuts and bolts which is enough to lift the rear wheel.

I fixed the bits or ali to the bottom of the stand with some countersunk M5 screws and gave them a quick coat of satin black , just got to put the stand back on in the morning and try it out .

Quick update , the 6mm bits of ali plate on the bottom of the centre stand lifts the rear wheel about 6mm clear of the ground, so that was a result.
I do have a rear paddock stand, but what I wanted was to be able to safely put the bike on centre stand away from home.

Saves welding !

I have a shorter torque arm to fit and will need to alter the centre stand like you for the same reason.

Do you need to lengthen the sidestand to suit?

If you keep the standard sidestand with a short torquearm, the bike leans way too much.
