5. remove centerstand

Is this required for NESBA, or simply something you did by choice? I had wondered about the center stand but couldn't find anything in the manual about it.

Decided to go with the Bandit and getting a few things lined up for it. Ordered a set of Givi engine guards yesterday, ordering tires next week and hoping to have enough left over to pick up a set of Galfer lines and HH pads for the front. Getting itchy to go  :bandit:

Nope - I can't imagine that's required.  Although, if it's gonna scrape when you're leaned way over, I'd remove it. 

Man, I need to get back on the track!  My next scheduled day isn't until the end of August (at the new Thunderbolt track in NJ). 

Here are pics from my first trackday still with the centerstand. Mind you, this is a 400 so I don't know how different the bigger Bandits are.

Never scraped although my peg now has a nice 30* cant to it.

Rob wish I could swing it (no team van to bring the bike there) because I'd love to do NJ, it's only an hour from me here. That and penny pinching of course. I also think its sold out at this point.

Honestly Randy... I just sold the day.  I do NOTHING but work these days.  Getting a couple hours on the mountain bike each week is enough of a struggle....
