No, this specific center stand is designed for US models of the Kawasaki KLR650 manufactured between 2008 and 2018 only.

How much does the center stand weigh?

The centre stand is constructed from lightweight steel tubing. Specific weight details are not provided, but it is designed to be durable without adding excessive mass.

Is installation difficult?

Installation involves mounting to specific frame points. While manageable for most DIY enthusiasts with basic tools, referring to the included instructions is essential. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure.

The stand is designed to provide high cornering clearance, meaning it should not significantly impede your motorcycle's lean angle during normal riding.

Troubleshooting

Stand is difficult to deploy or retract.

Check for any obstructions around the stand's pivot points. Ensure the mounting bolts are not over-tightened, which could restrict movement. Verify the motorcycle is on a level surface when attempting to deploy.

Motorcycle feels unstable when on the stand.

Ensure the stand is fully deployed and locked in place. Confirm that the motorcycle is positioned correctly on the stand, with the weight centered. Check that all mounting hardware is secure.

The stand scrapes during cornering.

This is unlikely with the bike-specific design. Double-check that the correct model stand has been installed and that no aftermarket modifications are interfering with the stand's clearance.

Mounting hardware seems incomplete.

Carefully re-check the packaging, as small parts can sometimes be missed. Compare the contents against the parts list in the mounting instructions. Contact the retailer if any parts are genuinely missing.
