Hey all, so I got a set of dirt rims to do some trail. It was conversion from a sm to dirt really happy with the end result! But few down sides. the side stand is VERY low she can be parked on a flat surfaces only! yet she could fall off as the stand is soo short whith the dirt rims and tires being tall. Any tips? 2nd. Odometer, had to remove the rubber ring so that the dirt rims will fit fine but now theirs no speed or current distance reading in the digital meter? Did I do something wrong?

Thanks!

 

I went the other way I put the D-Tracker rims on mine I had to be real careful where I parked as it was too vertical. If you are going to leave the bigger wheels on I'd suggest getting a stand off another Kawasaki that is long enough to do the job. A KLX250S, KLR250 / 650, KDX200 might do? Otherwise if you can weld (or know someone) cut and fit a piece of steel into your existing stand perhaps off an old sidestand.
Regarding the speedo drive that ring you removed is the seal. Without that the speedo drive will probably fail in a short time as it needs lubrication. It also excludes water and muck getting into the drive.
