Suicide Sidestand Fix

When I got my >Skyteam-125cc-Monkey< the automatically retracting sidestand was an instant annoyance to me. :rolleyes:

More than once I almost dropped the bike because I relied on the sidestand to be where it was a few moments earlier; firmely on the ground.

(when dropping the bike the stand would BE where it earlier was; on the ground..... but in a more horizontal way :p)



So this suicidestand was one of the first things I modified on my bike.

Not a high-tech solution but it works and the pics speak for itself I think. :cool:



Suppose the sidestand on the Honda Monkey's are not build as suicide sidestand?

Idk , maybe have'n a stand that retracts when you lift up the bike could be a good thing ?? Consider it sort of a safety feature ? ;-)



I think I would of looked into notching out the the foot peg bracket and maybe even the kick stand so it moves forward more ?? Just a thought ... :)

Yeah, but now when you ride away and forget to put it up, when you take a left turn you're screwed. With a stocker, it will scrape for half a second, scare the poop out of you, then kick itself up. Now when you take a leftie, your on your face and you bike is sliding away beneath you and there goes your nice paint job.
