Hi all,

this is my first thread as I got a Hyperstrada last week. I'd like to share my experience with this fantastic bike!

Last weekend, we had a trip of 1150km I found the bike very fun, confortable and powerfull!

We have been riding for 16 hours on different kind roads, the only thing that I don't like is the center stand. As it touches the road while curving and in one of curve we were almost falling off as the rear tyre lost the grip due to the contact of the center stand with an uneven road surface.

Did anyone have my same experience? Do I have to remove it?

Congrats! If it was only dragging on the left side, there is a company that will shave the foot lever down but I forgot who it was.

or, just remove it if you don't use it that much.

It is easy to remove. Here is a link to the installation instructions (which you reverse obviously).

Can I ask is yours a lowered version ?

Thanks for your reply. I'll remove it as the hyperstrada is just fantastic to cuve :)

I removed the center stand which was easy to do. The bolts have thread lock on them so they take some effort to turn should you want to remove it. I removed mine before I had a chance to really check the lean angle :D. It was more for access to the side stand.
