R6 Side Stand

Sabre093 · September 08, 2015, 05:49:02 PM

I've read somewhere we as FJ'ers who have done 17" conversions we can put a R6 side stand on to retain proper lean when we park....anyone seen this mod?

I have not heard of this. I would like to learn more.
Yes, with the back end raised, something needs to be done.
Here's what I did: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=4326.0

Hi. Was was given this advice from someone on the FJ Facebook group, but haven't tried it yet.

The R6 was introduced in 1999 so we have many models to choose from....Mark, can you narrow down a year (or a range of years) for us?

Hi Pat. I have copied this from Facebook

Hi Mark to overcome the too-short-side-stand-problem you could use an R6 side stand which is easy to adapt.
Thanks for that Peter Schneider. Any particular year?
Hello Mark Lowe - anyone of them will do.
That is the only info I have

Ok, thanks Mark! I'll check it out...off to FleaBay I go....

Thanks. I just bought one too. Will see if it fits when I get it next week.

Urban_Legend · September 22, 2015, 07:02:32 AM

Is there any updates on how the R6 stand fitted?

ezunix · September 22, 2015, 07:09:05 AM

I received it yesterday evening. Will try very soon and tell you guys how it went.

Job done. Takes about 10 minutes to swap them. The R6 stand fits fine.
It's about 2 centimeters longer than the old one.
The spring still bounces back, which sucks. Wished FJ had a better solution for that.

Urban_Legend · September 22, 2015, 03:19:19 PM

Will have to put one on my shopping list.

It's from YZF R6 - 2001 model.

A quick check on the Yamaha part # shows the same sidestand from 1999-2002 on the R-6's

Does the FJ side stand switch work with these side stands?

ezunix · September 23, 2015, 01:58:07 AM

Don't know, sorry. I don't have one on my 86' FJ1100.
