What adjustable sidestand did you buy? Are you happy with it? Thanks!

For heated gear I use my battery pigtail with an adapter, works well.

Yes, but I'd rather not do that everytime I get off the bike....

Hey, I put a bigger foot on my 2014 ES sidestand and the bike tends to stand a bit too vertical. I am 6"4" and 225 with gear so I have set up a bit tall. Has anybody used an adjustable sidestand like Soupys or T-Rex, how was your experience? Reccomendations? Thanks! Edbo

Don't hesitate, I reflashed my 2014 ES and made the riding experience much better. Best $$ spent on my bike so far....and I spent a lot!

I have a RDL and did different saet mods, last one (I forget which) would have the seat "unlock" if I stopped to quickly and started to wobble. I got a rubber door stop (I know, not very elegant) and jammed it between the gas tank and the seat, skinny part down, and that stopped the seat from...

Or speed bleeders.

I have a Gen 2 (2014 ES), get the flash, 100%, best money I spent on the bike.

I'm 100% road, Michelin Road 5 Trails.....last about 8-10,000 miles.

I'm guessing low fuel also as evidenced by the Trip-F on the dashboard, fill'er up and check after a few miles....

More fun to ride a slow bike fast.....that's why I love to wring out my SV650! I tried to buy a MT09, just too much, like a 2 year old colt.....

I looked hard at the Tracer a couple years ago, 6'4" 34" inseam just wasn't quite the fit....went with the ST and have a SV 650 for the "less than 2 hour" rides. Would like to eventually consolidate into just one bike, may have to re-visit the Tracer in a few years. Just hard to find a "do all"...

When I had my house re-roofed, I bought a broom like device but has a metal magnetic bar instead of a broom to pick up metal objects, I run around the house and property, works great.

Lithium grease do the trick?

Update - thanks for the replies. I messed with the seat so many times I went back and started at the beginning. Took out middle rubber grommets, seat set to high and seat tounge in low position - viola it works! There is a video somewhere in the forum.

I'm 6'4" with 34 inch inseam, 215 pounds, Have 2014 ST and love it but still battle the seat tilt even after doing the mod and added Russel Day Long. I occurred to me maybe by raising the pegs by 1/2 inch or so would tilt my butt back into the seat - anybody try this? I have Pivot Pegz from PO...

Thanks for your in depth write up,,,an ongoing topic!

FortNine I thought gave a very good analysis....

Anthony flash....best $$$ I've spent on the Gen 2 bike.

Congrats, I'm 60 and made the jump from the FJR, great bike but too much power in reality for the way I ride and being 6'4" a the ST fit better. I would suggest a flash for your ST, make it a new bike even the Gen 2....
