Anyone else have issues with the centre stand lifting foot hindering the back of the left foot?
Its not so bad sat down but ffs - when stood up it prevents being able to move the left heel about almost completely.
Anyone modified the stand by either removing it or shortening it?
Thinking of just taking the entire stand off but I do use it a fair bit for servicing, in the garage, locking it up, etc.
Shortening the foot could work but would that make it too difficult to lift onto it?
Ideas?
 
I suppose if you position your foot with your toes on the peg, or if you have very large feet, you might find your heel hitting the centre stand, or maybe the rubber stop has fallen off your bike allowing the stand to retract into a higher position?
 
Brand new 1250 so doubt the stop has fallen off.
Feet in the right position to be stood up - not on toes as that doesn’t work.
Happens with Adventures and Tech10’s so it’s not that clown feet are the issue either
 
My left foot touches it as well (size 12 ). I now have my left foot slightly further forward and just got used to it.
 
I took mine off and keep it in the garage for service. I just push the pins in without the clips or springs and pop it up.

I have clown feet at size 14 so I even had to bend down the bar on the side stand to keep it out of the way.
 
I’m thinking of shortening it tbh so it’s still there to use and putting the lifting bar on that I had on the 1200.
Have the fully Rallye sump guard on so can always use the hydraulic lift for service but just wondered if it was an issue for anyone else and what they’d done about it.
 
May not help but this is a standard mod on the multistrada and it doesn’t seem to affect the effort needed too much, might be worth having a search of the Ducati forums, I would think it’s too dissimilar
