Sidestand for FSE450

[Mal_B]

Hi Guys,

Time to replace the sidestand on my FSE. Does anyone know if an aftermarket stand is available? The Gas Gas one is kinda crappy.

Mal if U can't find one, go to gasgasrider.org and there are two ways to fix the kickstand. I copied Matt R.'s method plus I took mine to the neihborhood welder and cut a 11/2" off and welded a larger foot for $20. My bike stood up too straight after I lowered it and the stock foot would sink in soft terrain.

Thanks for that mate. Went to the site but couldn't find the article you mentioned - any chance of a link?

Thanks Again,

Mal, scroll down to " Chassis and Body " and check out both: "Kamikazi Stand and lowering links" by TeeJay and "Tech Tip: Fixing the kickstand auto-retraction" by Matt R. Matt has and excellent pic to go with directions. Works great.

I put a blow tourch to mine and had it bent into proper position.

Right on! That was Tejays method too. Works great. Simplist too.

Had mine shortened with a bigger footprint...
