Triumph Street Scrambler 900 Center Stand Kit - BENEFITS Improved Stability Bike stability when parked: The center stand provides a more stable and secure position for your bike when parked. This is especially useful on uneven surfaces or during long-term storage, as it keeps the bike upright and reduces the chance of it tipping over. Prevents wear on tires: By using the center stand, the bike is lifted off its tires, preventing flat spots that can form from prolonged contact with the ground when the bike is parked for long periods. 2. Ease of Maintenance Convenient wheel maintenance: The center stand allows you to easily lift the rear wheel off the ground, making maintenance tasks such as cleaning, lubing the chain, adjusting the tension, or replacing tires much easier and more convenient. Easy oil changes: The center stand makes it easier to change the oil or perform general maintenance tasks that require the bike to be stable and upright. You don’t have to worry about balancing the bike or needing an assistant. Chain cleaning and adjustment: For chain-driven motorcycles like the Street Scrambler, a center stand is especially useful for keeping the chain clean and properly tensioned. You can spin the wheel and easily inspect the chain’s condition or clean it. 3. Enhanced Storage and Transport Space-saving when stored: The center stand helps keep the bike upright in tight storage spaces, preventing it from leaning against walls or other bikes. It’s particularly useful in garages or areas where space is limited. Transport stability: If you need to transport your bike (for example, loading it onto a trailer), the center stand keeps the bike stable and secure during transport, minimizing the risk of it falling over or shifting. 4. Increased Convenience for the Rider Easier cleaning: When using the center stand, you can easily clean the underside of the bike without worrying about balancing it. This is particularly helpful for washing the bike or wiping down areas that are typically hard to reach. More accessible for short riders: For riders who may have difficulty keeping the bike upright or pushing it onto its side stand, a center stand can be easier to operate, especially when parking or loading/unloading the bike. 5. Better Handling When Loading and Unloading Stabilizes the bike during load/unload: If you’re packing gear on the bike or removing heavy items, the center stand ensures that the bike stays upright and stable, reducing the risk of it tipping over as you load or unload. Great for maintenance in tough conditions: Whether you’re on an adventure ride and need to make quick adjustments or perform repairs, the center stand allows you to work on your bike in remote locations without needing external tools or support. 6. Protection Against Environmental Factors Avoids kickstand wear: Using the center stand reduces wear on the kickstand, which can be subjected to dirt, mud, and moisture when parked on the ground. The center stand keeps the bike elevated, keeping the kickstand clean and intact for longer. Better for off-road riding: If you’re taking your Scrambler off-road, the center stand provides more stability when you're on uneven terrain or in rough conditions. It also helps avoid the side stand sinking into soft ground like mud or sand. 7. Value and Convenience for Long-Term Use Increases resale value: A center stand kit can be an attractive feature for potential buyers, as it improves the practicality and versatility of the bike. It shows that the bike is well-equipped and well-maintained. Rugged and versatile: As an essential addition for adventure or touring motorcycles, the center stand enhances your bike's usability and makes it more versatile for a wide range of riding conditions.
