Posted May 8, 20177 yr A big problem for those whose bikes have no center stand is getting the front or back wheel off the ground. I found this solution for about £36 quid.
May 8, 20177 yr Or you can make something like this for a fiver, or less if you have the timber around. Adapt as required. I fixed the handle permanently to mine, and it is a bit lower, just keeps the bike upright so I can crawl on the floor to check the oil level. I didn't need it for anything else. Can't find the 'english' version of the plans
May 9, 20177 yr ...but the bike is not level, so no good for checking oil. Not sure about putting extra weight on sidestand, and I haven't got a MIG welder or bobbins on my bike.
May 9, 20177 yr thats ideal if your cleaning the back wheel or washing the bike. as for checking oil.centre stand/paddock stand are of no use. you need to hold the bike upright on level ground,theres no other way round it.
