Lads - just shortened mine by 1 1/2" , by cutting about 2" below the pivot point, taking out a section, and rewelding back together (also used a 5/16" threaded stud for extra security) No problem, straightforward modification. Of course now the OEM spring is too long. What I did was to remove...

My 85 sidestand switch seems to cut 2 cylinders when it's down and in gear. You can ride away with it down, but it quickly reminds you something isn't right. I've read that when you put it in gear with the stand down it should kill ignition. I haven't started going through components yet, but...

Anyone know where I can get a shortened/adjustable sidestand? I've been trying to contact Keith at customvmaxservices, but I haven't gotten any response.

Hi I am lowering my bike extremly for the dragstrip, but i need to shorten my sidestand , any one got a picture of a custom made one ? the stock spring is way to long.

I need help with my 97max. I need to know exactly where is the sidestand relay, what it looks like and how to check it to see if it's good. My manuel has very fuzzy pictures and the colors of the wires don't match up with anything on my max. If anyone has any info please let me know. Thanks, Shawn

Ok I replaced the switch and the relay and the fucker still does not turn off with the sidestand down in gear...any ideas? Abe:bang head:

Does anyone know if the vmax sidestand switch on the kickstand is interchangable with other models. I was looking on fleabay and it looks like the same one on this xvs 1100...

My bike will not turn off with the sidestand down in gear. This a very dangerous situation and I would really like to have it resolved. I see where the sidestand relay is but am confused on how to properly test it? I connected my multi-meter to the relay plug in just as it states but how am...

Should I be concerned? If I put the Max in gear with the stand down, I lose the tacho and 2 of the four cylinders (it doesn't die anymore). Start switch is still isolated (won't turn over if ya stop it). :ummm::ummm:

i posted a similar thread to find out who or how i could shorten my sidestand. responses were great, general concensus was to have a local welder cut below the spring catch and above the foot, then weld them back together. bought a stand on ebay for 8 bucks 14 with the shipping and had it...

can someone tell me where i could send my stand to be shortened? does someone have one for sale? i'm gonna have the r1 front end i got on e-bay installed on thurs. i'll be needing a shorter stand. someone cancelled an appointment so i moved up the service date and i'm wondering how close to...
