Thanks to this thread I looked at the 998 side stand and noticed how much more the bike leaned than my Panigale sat next to it. A bit more inspection showed that wear is the problem. So hopefully caught in time as the idea of the bike smashing down on its carbon fairings wont do at all!

So thanks for the alert!

Plan to check our 998's tomorrow after this!

Both my 998s and my 996 are now fitted with stands from either a 749 or 999. For these to fit you need the left lower fairing with the bigger opening for the stand as found on most of the 748/996/998 models that came with a side stand switch.

Cheers for answers - i'll be popping over t oonyerbike in the next couple of days since my brother lives nearby, but if they're extortionate i'll try pro twins! Bike's impossible to put on stand now, so it's a wall-leaner if i'm stopping anywhere!
