Wheels off.

Post by bigtwinthing »

i am off on my hols soon and the wheels need coming off to get sprayed (white) i have a rear paddock stand and have borrowed another rear one and was going to jack carefully under the engine and then remove the front wheel, put a rod through the fork bottoms and then put the stand under it,across the rod, remove the rear wheel etc. Do both spindles come out the same side? as ive not taken one out before. and help wouls be good ples and yes i know i will have to clean white wheels a lot. But its ok i have OCD regards Paul. :D

Both the front and rear spindle come out on the left side. You could just sit the bike on bricks or a big block of timber under the sump. It would happily sit like that with both wheels removed. Just watch out not to rest them on the exhaust pipe.

Price has gone considerably from £33 when I got one to £53 but this front stand works well

easy & stable as this
