What's the best way to get the centre-stand-less Viagra off the ground for tyre changing etc.? Helicopters, magic hover pads, jetpacks, turning it upsidedown: not viable. When I changed the front tyre I used two car axle stands which was a very wobbly affair.

Can you not fit swingarm bobbins and use a paddock stand? Failing that, see if the Abba stand has the necessary adaptors for the Viagra swingarm pivot and then borrow an Abba from a friendly ukrm-er. > When I changed the front tyre I used two car axle stands which was a very > wobbly affair.

I used to use a block of wood and a trolley jack under front of frame. Jack-up against the side stand. This gets the front wheel off the ground enough to remove it.

That's sort-of how I got the axle stands under it, one side at at time, but I was worried that the side stand might give out if I left the whole weight on it.

It's not the whole weight as such, as the back wheel and the axle stand/trolley jack are still on the floor.

It's shaft drive so there's not much anywhere to fit anything to, zorsts and stuff in the way, not much of a frame either.

My GSX1100F bent my 'heavy duty' paddock stand, so I used the engine hoist and a couple of straps.

It would be useful to be able to work on it at some height too, rather than straining me poor old back... Good idea, thanks. SignatureSi - XV535 |
