The right side foot print of the centerstand needs to be bigger. It'll sink in the ground and go down on the throttle side.

Hey squarebore, as you know the Gen 1 had it all, when the Gen 2 was introduced in all countries but the USA, there were two versions, the non-ES/EZ had a thinner passgenger seat and lacked luggage rack, grab rails and centerstand, the ES/EZ got all the equipment. The US version only missed out on the heated grips.

Think about it, is your bike more stable with two tires on the ground and one side stand, or with one tire on the ground and two little center stand feet?

This is not unique to the Super Ten. Never use the center stand on suspect ground or hot asphalt, (bitumen). Get a side stand enlarger foot and you can stop worrying about this type of event.

Crazy. How are you supposed to remove the rear wheel without one? Most chain drive bikes have threaded holes in the swing arm for paddock stands. Even if they don't, the sides of the arm are symmetrical so you can use a paddock stand with the pads fitted. The super10 has neither of these options available. I hate it when manufacturers go cheap on essential things like centre stands.

It gets worse, special deal for me because I just bought the bike, $525 plus fitting.

Wtf, are they supposed to have a centerstand? Dealer says no.

In Australia there are 2 model, Standard and ES.
the Standard does not come with centerstand, heated grips, or rear grab rails... it also has a smaller thinner rear seat.
Center stand, heated grips are optional extras, but by the time you add them the cost of the ES version is looking cheaper.

Yeah I paid $16k ride away. The ES was $22.8k so maybe get for $22k. I think I can get a hepco and Becker centre stand for about $350 so I may check that out. I also wanted a lighter bike as I had so much stuff on my 2010. Love the new dash and cruise etc
