Guest Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 yes got a rear stand been using that for ages no problem, but when the bike is up on that, as it is before I try to use the front one, when I try to put the bike on the front stand the whole thing, bike and rear stand creep forward and then I cant seem to lift the front at all. annoying the s**t out of me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be easier if you get someone to hold the bars while you lift, to steady the bike.Just don't try lifting the front without the rear in position first... like I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogof Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 thanks for that, just not confident enough keep thinking my pride and joy will be in a heap on the floor needed expensive attention, That's why you use another body to steady it. Then when it drops you can blame them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky65 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 An Abba stand, that's what you want for a one-person operation. I use one on my ER-6 and it's steady as a rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 be careful the rear stand doesn't come up when moving forward...its not nice catching a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Push the stand down and back and get someone to steady the bike the first few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
