Cost: $0.79 (plus velcro)
Time: 10 minutes
Gets really hot around here. Side stand sinks into asphalt during the summer.
Lots of sand everywhere. Side stand sinks year round!
Motorcycle dealers use 4" electrical box cover plates, nailed into their parking lots, to keep side stands from sinking.
I found a good place to stash one on the FJR that can be reached while supporting the bike with your body.
Buy one of these most anywhere.
File the edges smooth and stick four little squares of velcro on the corners.
Stick it here. It fits neatly in the recess area and does not interfere with normal packing.
Drop the side stand and help support the bike with your legs.
You can manage to open the side bag and reach in to get the plate.
Lift the bike slightly and slide the plate under the side stand.
Keeps the side stand from sinking, but you are on your own when it comes to not forgetting to ride off without putting it back!
