Hello everyone,
Upon which wheel does the V7 Racer rest when placed on a centre stand, because I'm thinking of using a centre stand only. The risks are only risks if they are actual, and not just feared. What's your experience?
I've read the posts on centre stands for the V7 elsewhere in this forum, but its difficult to make any sense out of what was said; because kind people from different regions protested what appear to be differing results without recognizing the probable difference in their side stands.
As I understand it, the 'euro' stand is the only one designed to work with the OEM centre stand. The Stuchi seems to deploy with the American side stand, as long as you sequence the stands properly, but doesn't close completely. Is that correct?
However, my experience (advised by a science free of prejudice or fear) suggests that a centre stand is sufficient to protect against everything except malice. I applied my brain (physics and geometry) to a K75 with a centre stand that was my daily driver for ten years without incident.
Sufficient downhill lean will cause a bike to come of both types of stands. Admittedly, it takes less force to knock a bike off a side stand. However, people seem to sense less encouragement or invitation to throw their leg over another individuals bike when its on a centre stand.
Surely , its other people that drop your stationary bike! COME ON! (thank you Gob Bluth). Thank you!
