mjdavis1994 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 For those of of you who've been walking your bike down the road (like myself) because you don't have a rear stand yet I did this last night and it worked quite nicely. I'll probably order a stand in the near future but for now it worked like a charm cleaning/relubricating the chain. I jacked it from the stock exhaust however the oil pan would work as long as you place a board or something to distribute the weight. One jack stand went on the swing arm the other on the bracket on the other swing arm. Now obviously I wouldn't sit on it while it's up but it was fairly Sturdy. Although it's probably been done before I hadn't seen it on here yet and it makes life so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducttapewd40 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I have in a time of need hung one of mine from the garage ceiling rafters with ratchet straps, but that probably wasn't the best idea. Held up over the weekend while I brought both wheels in to the shop to have the tires changed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketchy but worked xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
