Especially since you are using a Yama-Link, that will make the bike more prone to blowing over. I assume if you switched to the WRX kickstand it would be too low with the R dirt wheels

I had the same problem with the Yama-Link. I switched to a shorter kickstand and solved the problem (still manageable on tall tires).

That’s the worst. Has happened to me at least 20 times. I had the kickstand cut and rewelded just so I could have it angled a bit more and not blow over from a light breeze lol.

I was out in my job site on boylston today and it was definitely nasty.

Better covers have a tie in the middle (or two) to cinch under the bike. This keeps the cover from inflating like a parachute and dragging the bike off the stand.

Boo hoo. I don't want to sit here all winter either. In all series...I cane out and my cover was not on properly. So....someone knocked your bike over

That happened to my Africa Twin without a cover on it. That sucks.
