OEM is absolutely solid. Bit of a challenge to get the bike up, as I have the 20mm lowered links. That also means the side stand is a bit too tall, but with the centre stand on it makes it tough to install the Rally Raid shortened side stand. Will need to take side stand off to do it…..so this video helps. Thanks.
Great video mate. I've sub to Your channel and realised that I'm 1000th subscriber - lol. Still waiting for my T7 to come. Keep it up and have a fantastic day.
The Problem with many of the center stands is you don't get a Hight option ........ You can't really cut them down to fit the bike IF your a short Rider and want to Lower your bike using wishbones and sliding the forks up the Triple Tree....... Getting the bike on these stand can be done BUT!!! is even harder when you already short and don't have the long legs to lift with ......... It's Just a Observation....
Maybe a little bit on each side - but the benefits of having the stand more than offsets any tiny downsides; i.e. ease of maintenance! So far, I have not had any issues with the center stand and Love It!
@@orbsurfer8195 agree! Today I just got my center stand from sw-motheh, build quality is pretty good, installed today. Its the only option in Mexico now. Btw I really enjoy your videos.
T-Rex racing in Texas makes a centre stand fo the T700. Their stand is also height adjustable, which is a nice feature.
Hi, I put the yamaha stand on mine in the UK, fitted by Tinklers was £244. A solid piece of kit!

A centre stand was the first I ordered to my T7 - did not go for the OEM, but chose the one from SW Motech. Should arrive next week.

Thanks! And Thanks for the Sub! Hopefully you will receive your Ténéré soon! It is a Great Bike and actually more than enough motorcycle!

I've seen that the OEM center stands kind of lowers the ground clearance, is that true?
