ZE (SE) Suspension sag when on side stand

[UK Bloke]

I upgraded from a 2011 S10 to a 2014 ZE Elec Suspension S10 and well worth it, the only thing that seems a bit odd is how much the suspension sags down when on the side stand, my old 2011 didn't do this, is this normal for the ZE?
I can't park it on even the slightest slope in case it falls over....

I do believe that was a complaint / observation before. Due to the servo on the ES doing the work of the spring when switched on.

That is not the case, the pre-load servo does not load up the rear spring when switched on. It adjusts and then stops and holds. The damping adjusters seem to cycle through but that will have minimal effect.

So my ES sits nicely on the side stand empty. Sure, you don't have to put to much load on the back before it stands up. I have just re-sprung the rear ES shock and it is much improved.

Yup is sure is mushy when on the side stand. Weird but not an issue.

I've noticed the same on my '15 ES if the pre-load it set any lower than two helmets. This is with my OEM side cases and Give Outback top case fitted and partially filled. With the pre-load set to two up (though I'm only riding one-up with luggage) it seems a lot less squishy when parked.

I have mine set to single rider with luggage, I'll try the 2 riders setup.

thanks all ::003::

My 2014ES now has ~ 32,000 miles and if I have the suspension set too soft and my parking spot is higher on the side stand side I feel the bike is going to go over and fall on the right side. If I up the suspension like put it up to 2 helmets with luggage it's ok in the same parking spot.

I don't really know what to think about it... because when I ride its fantastic so???? :-\
