Same as mine too. Sometimes I go have a smoke in the parking lot just so I can look at how good my bike looks and watch people's reaction when they walk by.

Unfortunately someone became so infatuated with my bike that they sat on it and caused it to tip over when I wasn't there..

Oh yeah, I did that after - but the way she hopped off, there wasn't any way that the bike wouldn't tip over

If it had the kickstand mod, was in 1st gear with the slack rolled out, and the bars locked, it's not falling over.
Sorry yours did.
Mine fell 3 times, lol.
The second or third time I put gas in it, I walked it forward so there was room for one of my friends to get gas.
It was in 1st, I put the stand down...and almost caught it as it hit the ground. My right leg in the air as I was stepping off of it , wtf Suzuki.
It only took dummy me 2 more times to learn to roll 1st's slack out And lock the bars.
I watched it slow motion fold up the stand, and fall into the grass twice(parked on pavement), several minutes after parking it too!
Fortunately just minor scratches each time, but a pos design none the less.

ARE YOU LISTENING SUZUKI???
FIX YOUR POS KICKSTAND ON THE GEN3!!!!!

Having your bike fall over sucks....my Gen 2 Katana fell over and it was like slow motion where I was unable to save it...I was standing 2 feet from it too...

Ah, yea. From the video, it looked like the girl was posing on the bike for pics, then she just jumped off it and walked away. I did that mod though... after it tipped over lmao. And now I have an extra rear stand, so if I bring my bike out to the shop again, I'll just throw it on the stand while I park it out front.

Should post that video

It's been 2-3 months, not even sure if I can still pull the CCTV up. I made a thread when it happened, but never got around to posting the video.

I dropped my concours a few weeks ago. Parked it in a grassy area that was not perfectly flat thinking it would be OK, since I have a kickstand pad on it and I just want to get off of it for 5 seconds to take a picture of it with a nice background. As I took the picture, a Strong wind pushed it over to the throttle side. I grabbed it and tried save it, but grass was wet, so I slipped. I was so happy about my crash cage purchase!! Paid for itself and not even a scratch on the crash cage. I do believe I have a slightly bent front rotor, but need to ride it some more to confirm.

Canyon cages work great . My FJR1300 fell over due to side stand issue like many makes , and models . Purchased Mc Enterprises police crash bars ( before their canyon cage model came out ) . Ofcourse the bike never fell over again .
