centerstand

[Feejer/Weejer man]

Has anyone noticed after the Wilber rear shock install that the FJR goes up on the centerstand almost without effort. I was suprised. It fgoes up now almost as easy as my FZ1 did. Said something about to the tech and even he noticed the difference. Just an observation.

Yeah, whenever I drop 7 hunnert bucks on the Feej, everything works better, faster, easier...

Its probably sitting a bit higher than it used to. Mine goes up easier but I purchased the height adjustment option and jacked it up on purpose.

Dunno if a Wilburs without it would have enough additional spring force to make a big difference.r

Man I am telling you that the first time I pulled it up I almost threw it backwards. I can now put it up without lifting on the handhold.

Look at the rear tire when it is on the centerstand now. It is BARELY off the ground. Like as in....I can barely see daylight under mine with the Wilders shock in place and the bike on the center stand on a perfectly level surface. I stupidly didn't compare it's free length to the factory shock but it must be set a bit longer so as to allow the rear suspension more extension at full rebound. Probably not much of an issue unless you try to use the center stand in a parking lot somewhere and happen to pull it up in a low spot. It is not going to lift the rear wheel in that case and will be a bit unstable....
