Pic was OK a-little while ago, now it says "photo not found"
Nice blue bike
RE: Yamaha Niken - Ack-CB11_imp - 10-18-2019
The 1st two are from photobucket so I added attach's also.
I see doubles now.

Wow ... is that a side stand?
RE: Yamaha Niken - the Ferret - 10-18-2019
I can see the attaches, but not the photo bucket ones

I have trouble with pictures sometimes,
Thanks for letting me know.

It has a side and ceterstand on the bike.
Picture is Pitbull rear stand that lifts the swingarm so the kickstand doesn't touch the ground.
I always leave it down so I can't forget it when I put it down.
The front suspension doesn't lock so it falls over like a 2 wheeler, probably harder with the extra 100 lbs behind the headlight.

Okay, I thought it had technology to compensate for a side stand. Center stand too? - no kidding.

Not until the 2020 E. Coast Rally.
If a Yamaha can sneak in.....
Those Niken soft sided bags aren't that great, but they'll work so I'm hanging on to them, I've learned my lessons many times about selling OE parts.....
Did a zig-zag then 1/2 loop across the island today another 37 miles on the clock.
It's an interesting ride that I'm enjoying all ready
A little review
Positives
Extra smooth riding front end
Even with 100 lbs on the forks, counter-steering it takes less than 1/2 the
effort. The 2 wheels must do that?
Negatives
The brakes have caught me off guard a few times. Adding a wheel and
weight at the same time using smaller brake disc equals longer stops.
More to come
ACK

Strange too given the extra patch of rubber on the ground.
