Main Stand & Side Stand Issues

[mountain_smith]

im riding spec 1 too, would love to have a mainstand on too!! keep us vtec 1 riders updated bout the main stand status!

[boxsurat]

maybe anybody who take lesson in BBDC can ask them?

[senate747]

i think the spec 1 in BBDC should be custom made with all the crash bars n etc before they roll out the bike for practise... their crash bar really big n confirm protect the engine loh...

I've checked with SK.. They cant do it.. Cuz it will involove welding of our frame, and if not careful, may cause crack in frame which will pose a big danger for the bike and rider..

 

LPPL.. use side stand..

 

But do consider SK crash bars, i'll save up and do one with fog lights brackets.. will reduce vibrations as our current 3pt crash bar is partly mounted on the engine..

i guess we have to forgo it then... i just did a DIY oiler cos it's easier to lube the chain without the mainstand while on the move...

 

any pics of that crashbar of yours??

SK Crash bars? where to buy it?

[biting_point]

No money buy yet, saving up.. SK customised ones lah..

 

they bolt them on the frame so will not cause as much vibrations as the 3pt crash bars..

izit the 2 pt crash bars u are talking about? the 2 pt one is bolted on the frame

[Fazli]

3 pt crash bars are the ones that reduced the engine vibrations as the top bar that joins from the front of the engine across all the way to the back acts as stabilisers. Go MotoWorld to check out the specific aftermarket stabilizers. They are mounted the same way.

if making the main stand cost 200++, i think i prefer to invest the $$$ in an original scottoiler that i can take off and put on my new bike when i sell my s4 in the future...

 

jus my 2c...

from what i know, it doesn't really help.. the best way is to put a slider or don't put anything at all...

the stablisers motoworld sell is bolt onto the top 2 of the engine.. doesnt link the frame at all.. so this reduce engine vibration.. correct me if i'm wrong..

 

the 3pt crashbar bolt onto engine and frame.. so hence got vibration.. those who had 3pt crashbar can try taking it out and go for a spin and can verify results..

 

anyway, my 3pt crash bar just saved me 2 days ago along with my motovation axle sliders.. i guess it's really time to fix SK crash bars..

putting main stand is not just for oiling your chain.. basically it's more stable than side stand if you park your bike..

 

anyway, SK dun do our spec 1 main stand.. asked them already.. sianz..

hi

 

anyone have info on mainstand to be fitted on v-tec 1?

can it be done?

if yes anyone hav fitted b4?

[duckit]

i dont think Vtec 1 can fix main stand, Spec 2 and 3 can but not 1

[johnboy]

oh ok

thanks bro

just wondering if any simple modifications would work?

[duckit]

Mayb you can try , mayb weilding works but depends on the workmanship also cause super4 is quite heavy . You dont wan to see your bike on the floor when you wanan colllect your bike .

yeah it make sense bro

its really heavy

thanks

to my knowledge, vtec 1 dun have brackets for mainstand.. i have even ask Seng Kwang, they said it's not safe to weld onto your chasis.. but of cuz if you have the money..

 

few alternatives: pay big bucks to install, change bike, change chasis, or live with it.. for me, i really would like to have a mainstand, but bo bian.. i chose the last option..

[vtec_craze]

where to get best price for main stand for spec 2?

OKIES

I rather live with it

[biting_point]

anyways even a heavy bike would have a mainstand, not say if bike heavy cannot have mainstand..

 

how heavy is a STX? it had a mainstand..

[flykite]

well, heavy bikes are not suited for mainstands. the brackets holding the mainstands for the diversion900s always cracks. so does the stx.

 

live with it.
