Working on RX4

Go to Amazon or to you favorite motorcycle supply shop and find a motorcycle kickstand plate or foot or pad as it is called. This will add length and stability to the kickstand. Then find a "SnapJack" from your shop or Amazon. This makes the kickstand act like part of a center stand while the SnapJack acts like the other part of the center stand. I have used this setup on both the front and rear wheel. It is stable, reasonably priced, and light weight.

A normal kickstand plate won't do the job. The OEM kickstand would have to be extended about 1.5" (maybe even more) to reduce the lean angle enough to be stable.

Try removing your bike’s rear wheel using the kickstand foot plate and a SnapJack and see how your bike wants to slip off the non-secured SnapJack. Straining to move the rear wheel forward to remove the chain and rear disc from the caliper and the rear axle usually makes the bike fall off the kickstand and the SnapJack, especially if the bike is a very heavy model. I’ve been there and done that!
