    While parking, it functions just like any other bike's main stand does.
    If you observe well, there is a provision given for the mainstand as well as the space for the rubber washer near the silencer pipe.
    Yamaha already had this in mind, just that they wanted to promote the paddock stand, so they didnt' launch the mainstand with the bike.
    Some people like me who have had their bikes tipped off the paddock know how impractical it is.
    Thanks alot for replying to my query.. I'm gonna go and get it installed on my bike this monday

    I've also heard that if someone gives a slight push to the bike it can fell down.. is it true?
    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

      That you must have heard about the paddock stand. No worries on this one-use it just like any other bikes' mainstand.
      Oh btw, don't forget to check that the small pin on the RHS is fit properly (this applies to all bikes btw), else the shaft will keep moving&one day crack. This happened to my bike&I got the shaft replaced. Didn't cost me much I think. Good thing was I could hold the bike when it was almost about to fall.
      The pin is important for all bikes. I check it once in a while after offroading.

            One observation while i was cleaning my bike today.. When i was rotating the front wheel i was hearing sounds like metal vs metal scratching.. and it was coming from the disc plate ..

            should i get it checked at the SS?

              It's mostly nothing but the accumulation of dust in the Disc pads that cause this kind of friction. If u know it, you urself can clean it, else take it to a ss. Just a matter of 5 mins. You can chill now! Nothing to worry

                  yama lube is top quality product. in indian road conditions semi synth is more than enough.
                  superbikes are the biggest blunders on indian roads.

                    Did you order that tank pad Keiti online in Planet DSG?
                    Yes, I ordered it from PlanetDSG.com. Just a few days ago, actually. It came in 3 days and is a very good fit Top quality.

                    I dont think it will have any probs with cornering, but will reduce ground clearance by a few centimeters ...

                    I guess its the speedometer attachment on the front wheel.... or could be the brake calipers slightly touching the disc.... is it very loud or barely audible? If its the latter, then it mustn't be a problem..
                    D'oh!

                      Thanks for the reply Zenash.. I might order one for myself.. I was looking at the skull (blue) tank pad might go well with my bikes color as well which is blue..

                      Its not that barely audible.. When i spin the front wheel i could hear the sound pretty audibly.. and i guess its the dust that has accumulated in.. Any idea how to clean it ourself. I dont want to goto ss for this..

                        Hmm, the disc brake disc can be cleaned by simply rubbing with a wet cloth, but the callipers, you could clean with a high air pressure canister that they use to clean keyboards etc... or maybe a proper water hosing with a pipe?

                        Btw, Buy a TANKPAD whose color is in contrast to your Blue bike. Dont put blue tankpad on the blue bike, wont suit. GO for Black or white... Just a suggestion. It costed me Rs900 + 50 bucks shipping. Worth the money though..
                        D'oh!

                            What? How? Hmmm. I definitely paid Rs 950 overall! Maybe taxes are higher in your state :P
