Kickstand Turn

Do it a lot to turn the bike around in my garage. Our bike is a bit heavier than the one in the vid, but it still works fine. The grab bar around the back seat is a great handle.

Here is a discussion about it not long ago. I have not really came into a situation that would warrant it... Well, once but that would not have worked anyways since it was a bad slope and would have dumped the bike..

Dude get rid of the bug! For some reason it looks like it sticks out further than anything else

That sure would be handy for when we park in the garage facing in and need to turn to get out. Hubby barely likes sitting on the bike with the kick stand down, I think he'd have a heart attack turning it with the full weight on the stand.

I would be concerned 1. for damaging the kickstand and having it give up when I just needed it to hold the bike (or when I was turning it around) 2. my weak not being able to do it and dropping the bike on the ground or myself!

I know that guy.... crazy small world!
The rotate on kickstand seems to be the way to go around DC, with all the tight parking and whatnot... best to practice on a light bike to get the concept down, then with some help on your bike...

I do it all the time as I need to park my bike sideways so I can get my car in far enough. Once used to it, it is quite easy to do.

done it, but only when needed which isn't often. the guys at yamaha who I bought it from taught me how, what wonderful influences!
