leaning tower of ..............RVF400

Is it just mine or does the NC35 lean very far on its side stand? I just picked up the bike last year and I believe it is the original side-stand. But it leans way over. And now with stiffer springs and a tiny bit more ride height on the rear, it is REALLY far over - I'm worried that its very close to tipping. Is this normal/common or should I be looking for something? I can't see that the side-stand is bent or been altered. Any fixes people have come up with?

That's normal if you've got a longer shock/modded dogbone in there. An easy fix is building up some weld on the bottom of the stand - or you could cut and shut it if you can be bothered.

There's usually no risk of the bike falling over, but beware of parking on asphalt on a hot day :oops:
