    I only just realized now that my bike leans a lot more than my friends zxr250c when its on the side stand. Are all 250rr like that or is there something wrong with mine?

    Most cbr250rr I have seen don't lean much, my zxr250 has the biggest lean on the side stand that's due to a previous owner raising the rear ride height. Yours may be similar.

    See the below pick and look at the different wheelbase and swingarm angle.

    Check the rear shock, it may be set to a stiffer setting and increasing the height of the bike

    Or the side stand is bent/worn at the pivot.

    Totally agree with you, zxr have one hell of a lean as compared to a cbr. The zxr that I have in my garage is exactly the same.

    So I just gotta lower it slightly to reduce the lean?

    ^^^this is the massive lean of my zxr it's been that way for 2 years no worries ( I can park it with the stand uphill that I can't my zx7 so I like that) when I need it to stand straighter for space I just put the stand on a paver.

    Pretty good point you made out it being able to park on hills better. Might keep mine the way it is

    The Hyo is nearly upright when on the stand ...u have to pull it 'over' to make sure its sitting right ..... its annoying

    Better to have it like Huntsmans pic.

    Exactly My zx7 is pretty upright and I got a flat, then it wouldn't stand on the stand.... So that was a nightmare lol juggling a bike while plugging a tire, that big girl ain't light either!
