Stupid Request - 2015+ R12RT

[shropdog]

Need a favor from someone....I need the height of the passenger pegs when the bike is straight up (off the side and center stands). Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance1

With a rider sitting on the bike?

Also remember that different mode settings change height as well, as do tires, bags on or off, rider weight etc. - I could go on but you get the picture, too many variables for an accurate response without more information on what you're trying to find out.

Looking for a measurement for a stock height, unloaded RT. Trying to gauge the step height to mount the bike for my wife. Thx!

Is there a reason you don't consider you mounted on the bike, bike on sidestand and her being able to either "leg over" and sliding onto the seat, or using your shoulder to balance herself while she uses the passenger footpeg to step up and leg over?

That works for every female I've ever had as a passenger on any of my RT's.

This seems to be the best way for stability and how I used to do it. (I’m strictly a solo rider now by choice) Sidestand down and she can hold your shoulder. Let her get settled in and then you get the bike upright and retract the sidestand.

I measured my 2015 with the 3 bags on. Off the stand passenger peg is 15 1/4. Measured on center stand is 18 inches. Suspension is set 1 rider with luggage and all bags are empty. Good luck

Did you sit on the bike while someone took the measurement?
Welcome to the forum.

Thank you DonV as that is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Welcome to the forum!

Measurement was taken while I straddeled the bike and my wife measured. No weight was on the seat. FWIW bike has 15k milage so suspension is not worn out yet.

That will help so the OP can do the same.
