The old rat biker's trick always worked for me - stash a galvanized electrical outlet box cover (blank) in a place where you can reach it easily. Toss that on the ground before you park and rest your stand on that. Of course, you have to remember to take it when you leave, but they're cheap enough to keep a few in your kit.
Hi everyone,
Another W800 question, since y'all were so helpful last time:
I find the foot of the W800's side stand a bit thin for stopping on gravel, dirt or grass (I'm concerned that the weight of the bike will cause it to sink into these soft surfaces, at best making it hard to upright, at worst tipping it over). I know that there are after-market additions to the side stand foot, referred to as side stand supports, which increase the surface area of the foot, thereby making this sinking effect less of an issue. An example is attached. The thing is, I assume not every support works with every foot. I was wondering if anyone has had success adding such a support to their W800 (or W650, I'm hoping the side stand is similar), and if yes, what model did you use?
Thanks again, I appreciate any help I get!
Sam
