marc01 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hi and Welcome. Take it easy on your R6 for a while they can bite back if pushed to much But enjoy It. Paddock Stands are self explanatory when you see them. Rear one first and Its the only one that can be used on its Own. And keep bikes side stand down.

Cheers in advance Sweet choice of bike. Guess what I got for my first bike after passing the test? What year do you have Cant really offer much advice but ride safe. Look after the bike it will look after you. But push it and as I am sure you are already aware it has the ability to bite you hard. Ride safe and stick around.

Cheers in advance Hi Yanto! and welcome! If you are going to use a Paddock stand a good tip is to use a Tie-Wrap pulled around your Throttle Grip to the Front Brake lever, this will stop it rolling on its castor wheels! also do not allow anyone to sit on it whilst its on the Paddock stand!! For added safety I have placed Soft rubber pads on the support brackets this helps stop the swing arm sliding along the support brackets. You could also fit Bobbins to the Swing arm and then order Hook type brackets to replace the "L" shaped brackets which are supplied on most Paddock stands. Have great respect for the Throttle and the Bike will behave accordingly! Ride Safe and Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
