raysigh Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Do you guys remove the kickstand for the track? I have rearsets so the feelers on the stock pegs aren't a worry for scraping. The little extension to make dropping the kickstand seems to be the next scrape point on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cornerslider Posted December 1, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted December 1, 2020 I do, for one reason- "peace-of-mind"....I watched my wife crash when she drug her kickstand on a CBR250R on track (I was behind her, and saw everything happen )... Fortunately it's REALLY easy to remove the kickstand assembly on our bikes. It's a matter of removing two bolts, and bypassing the safety switch. You can buy a plug to bypass the safety switch for like $15 from Norton Motorsports, or just modify your existing safety switch by looping it back into itself. Either way works- 2 ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysigh Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I ended up removing the actual kickstand, vs removing the stand and it's base mounting. Which didn't end well when trying to torque it back on 33ft-lbs while counter-holding, and the self-locking nut stripped the bolt. I'll try removing the entire stand assembly next time.

jkrueger13 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I just zip-tie it to the rearsets, which is what the local trackday organization requires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
