That is the one that I got too. The Pro moto one. Its so damn tight, there is no way its coming down.

Yup...I think if any skeptics were to actually try and put this stand up and down, it would eliminate their fear.

It's a great product.

I dont dare to put it up and down with my leg. Its so super spring loaded, it would probably break your leg if it hits you coming down. I use my hand and control it down otherwise its like the kick from a shot gun when it unloads.
Same here...It goes up and down so hard I sometimes worry it will break the arm off. lol

I need to follow someone around that track. I'm sissyl and afraid to go for the jumps on the pro track. The intermediate is a blast.

A bunch of us go there and came twice a year. This year we went the last week in May and the first weekend of October...Always a good time. The jumps aren't bad on that track once you do them...actually pretty mellow.

There are clearly a bunch of bros in this thread who have never used modern kickstands. Lots of guys around here moto their woods bike....have yet to see a kickstand related mishap.

Next time you go to a KTM dealer, check one out on the XC's. You will understand why they are fine on the track.

Vital on razor sharp titanium pegs:
"So sick bro!"
"Look at the trickness!"
"Drool, so much want. . ."
"So factory!"

Vital on kickstands:
"That's totally unsafe bro"
"How dare you risk our lives bro"
"My dad's 89 XR250 kickstand always fell down bro, so this one must to"

If we're going to be idiotically rediculous about safety to the point where it defies all logic, can we at least show some consistent results on the board. . .
Well there is a little bit of a difference here. The foot pegs are more of a performance upgrade and do help some riders while on the bike. The kick stand is for " off the bike ".....not being ridden.

I'm in the group that if you're on the track , you shouldn't have a kick stand on your bike. OR.....a freakin' head light that actually working! I freaking hate those things!

Lol, you haven't experienced the pure joy of blowing by bros on an enduro bike, full headlight and all, while beeping the horn.Laughing That my friend, is the true meaning of life, and should be experienced by all riders at least once.Evil

Kickstand is functional for the track as well. In a race situation, I would have already beat half the guys in this thread because they'd be too scared to line up next to such a device of malice.

This to a T. Its poetic justice when you pass a "kitted" out moto guy on an offroad bike and mismatched gear. The looks you get after are amazing
