Kickstand length
What is the deal with how short Kawasaki did the kickstand lol has anyone done a different set up or have yall just kept your bike almost tipped over on the trail?

Re: Kickstand length
I lengthened mine. With the 47mm Showa forks and RM125 shock my bike is taller than stock so my bike would fall over regularly while on the stand. I cut the OEM foot off, slid on a piece of 4130 chromoly tubing of the appropriate size, made a new foot out of 1/8" plate, figured out how long I wanted it to be, and welded it up!

Re: Kickstand length
You aren't the only one! I think a few of us use the block of wood trick for the garage. I've thought about modifying mine similarly or I know there are a few threads on here where people use the trail tech stand which you could mount directly behind the foot peg.

Re: Kickstand length
I'm going to end up swapping forks mainly because the stock legs stick down and for looks so I'll lengthen my kickstand after that I suppose
