$5895 for RX4

[1cylinderwonder]

When I do oil drain and filter change I like to have my bike standing straight up. With the very short side stand on the RX4 it’s difficult to reach oil change parts, get a complete oil drain and clean things up. I’ve been looking for a center stand for the RX4 but couldn’t find one, and I can’t find any threaded bolt holes on both sides of the swingarm for adding spools for a trackstand supports.
I also like my bike to be steadily supported upright while adding or removing parts, during valve adjusting, modifications and checking alignments.
Without a center stand, a longer/taller side stand, or a well connected/supportive trackstand the RX4 bike is too unstable doing major work.
What’s your suggestions?

Have any of you owners of the 2020 RX4 purchased, borrowed, or tried out the RX4 tall black seat set? The seat height of the oem RX3/RX4 seat set is 31.9”. The seat height of the TALL SEAT is 33.5”. Can you riders reach the ground easily when sitting on your RX4 with the TALL SEAT installed? What is the rider’s height necessary to reach the ground safely while sitting on the TALL SEAT.
I’m tall and hoping the TALL SEAT will give me more leg room, instead of trying to find foot peg lower adapters. Also when lowering the foot pegs you reduce cornering clearance.

I have the tall seat and can say that I reach the ground fine. I only have a 29" inseam, so I'm either on the balls of my feet, or I slide one butt cheek off to the side to flat foot it. If your inseam is greater than mine, then you will have no problems. And yes, the seat helps greatly with legroom. I highly recommend it. It also has firmer foam, so longer rides are more comfortable. The stock seat starts to feel uncomfortable for me after about an hour of riding; it takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours before I start to get antsy with the tall seat.

At this point, I suggest waiting to see what CSC comes up with, in regards to a center stand. They know that it is a very popular feature on the RX3, so I suspect that they are working on a solution for the RX4, though I don't know this for sure. You may want to give them a call or shoot them an email and ask if they are designing one for the RX4.

I sent CSC an inquiry about the above information, but have not received an answer or reply!! I guess it’s not a problem for them since they have all those large motorcycle lifts in their shop!
