Supersport Sidestands

I know that the supersport sidestand changed in 1994 to the "suicide" ride away stand and then in 1999 it became the "safe" can't start or warm up your engine while the sidestand is down. But what about 1990 to 1993? Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Preferibly someone with a pre '94 SS.

My 92 750SS came with the "suicide" stand. Oddly enough, I never dropped it because of the stand retracting, however I did drop it because the stand was down once. Pushing over a speed bump and when the stand hit it, it pushed the bike away from me and over it went.

I think it was in 2000 or 2001 that they put the 'safe' sidestand on where you couldn't start/idle the bike w/ sidestand down. My 1999 came w/ a left side stand, no auto-retract, and no safety cutout switch.

Jesse, my 99 came with the safety cut-off. The dealer removed it for me though.

My 99 came with the self retracting, and no cutout switch. Sounds like that year is hit and miss.

I have a 91 but I have no idea what the technical hell you guys are talking about.

I don't have a safety cut-off so I can ride with the stand down like an accident waiting to happen. If you lean over too much, it will hit the stand, a jolt would be sent through the bike, and the stand would be forced to swivel back/up by its spring. Sorry, I probably didn't help you in your question.

I've got it figured out now thanks.
