My bike is lowered, and I want to adjust the unaltered sidestand to get more lean - the bike is not very stable as it is now, when on the sidestand, since the P.O. did not adjust the sidestand when he lowered the bike.

Can someone please tell me the lean angle of a stock DL650 on its sidestand.

The lean angle varies with pre-load, lowering...but here's an old thread with some suggestions:

lean angle - lowred bike

sinc eno-one repsonded with a lean angle measured on a STOCK DL650

I measured mine lowered bike, which includes some adjustment to the sidestand and all the preload dialed out

its 78.5 degrees

compared to my stock EX250 Ninjette - lean angle - 68.5 degrees

I think I will add an extra 5 degrees to the DL650, so that the side stand works better with sloping surfaces
