Lifting the bike - no centre stand

<< < (3/3)

busa:
I use the same as this one above.  and have no problems with it  with my 550 k3,  I also used it for my modern race bikes  for wheel changes  fork works etc.   they are stable  and also have tie down points  as well just for the added security. would recommend it  even with motor in or out  is fine

hunterso:
The only problem i can see with the above is that my exhaust runs under the bike so hides the frame rail on one side.

Is it ok to lift the bike with wood packing underneath the engine?

LesterPiglet:
That's what I have been doing.

bomber:
I had same problem,
My solution to lift the front was a friend who whelped with lifting and couple of stands.
I was a bit concerned but it was sturdy enough to take the forks of and bike was left like that for a week or so. It didn't wobble of slip.
I had stands resting on the frame.

Ignore that jack in the background, I didn't use it at the end.

Hope that helps
