Dear all,

 

I saw there is an optional main stand for S4 from Honda japan site. Can I get one in Singapore? If so, where can I get it? From Boon Siew? Any idea how much is it? Has anyone fitted one for your S4? Is it nice? Need to remove side stand or not?

 

The reason for getting one is that can save lots of muscle power when lubing my chain; maybe can adjust chain slack myself; can easily clean my back rim; can warm up engine without me sitting on the bike. Now I have to sit on the bike for about one two minutes to warm on the engine before move off; don't like to warm it with side stand as the bike is not level.

 

FYI, mine is VTEC2.

 

Please advise.

I have a main stand installed on my bike a week back. bought a second hand. nothing need to be removed when installing mainstand. price ranges from $220-$280. I heard motoworld is bring in cheaper version.

i also install a main stand when i bought my bike it is $250 at that time. but the motorshop say cheap when i buy with the bike so i think will be more expensive when you are buying now.

If u really interested, i know westin motor in yishun got one brand new mainstand stuck there for at least 6 mths already. the last price he given me was $260 including installation. Maybe u can try yr luck in slashing the price slightly lower. Mainstand definitely got resale value as Vtec 3 also using it right?

no regrets in fixing one dude but u gotta give up jacking up yr suspension as both tyres will hit the ground if you understand what i am saying.

vtec 1 cannot installed mainstand as there is no slot for it

[moregas]

Donno can custom make a mainstand for VTEC 1, need that for my future long trip. I saw one green Ver S in my carpark area that come with a custom made one.

Go Seng Kwang and custom make one.

 

Just got the main stand for 280 from Bt Merah; v expensive! With main stand on, can turn back wheel, but height very low. Almost can touch ground.

 

Now, I warm my engine without me sitting on it. Hee Hee:cheeky:

What is the logical reason for not wanting to warm up the bike when on side stand ??

I'm sure Honda Engineers thought of that when they designed the bike right ?

 

Cheers !

I KS mah, just want to make the engine blood is level during the warm up; don't want to warm it when its tilted.

Hmm.. no offense.

How do u know the engine oil is not level when on side stand ??

 

Cheers !

[kumori]

Just my logic & personal opinion. For VTEC2, if I sit on it, my fuel tank is level, my fuel indicator always gets one bar back so think its the same for engine. If u check wanna check engine oil level, do u check with side stand on?
