650 lowering kit

(1/1)

doboy:
Can anyone help my mate out . He want to put a centre stand on his 2017 650 v strom ..but...has a 40mm lowering kit on it , he thinks if he changes the 40mm to 20mm lowering kit the centre stand will fit OK ...is this the case ???

davef:
The stand should fit OK, but any lowering kit will make it much harder to actually get the bike up on its centre stand. Mine has been lowered by 15-20mm at the back and similar dropping the front fork tubes. I could just get it up on the stand with my full weight on the centre stand, but now I'm down to about 10st 5lb, I cannt do it unless I run the front wheel onto a piece of wood. Which is easy enough in the garage but not convenient otherwise.

doboy:
Cheers DaveF , I will pass it on to him  :thumb:
