Better off using the Abba Stand which will lift the rear wheel off the ground. If you dont have one of those then hanging the rear end off a solid beam. Block & tackle with a wide strap to do the lifting.

hi
what is your location? someone nearby may be able to help you.
a basic paddock stand will be enough for you, unless you have better equipment.

Yep ... I ve seen the beam hanging technique ... but Ive also seen sturdy Step ladders used as well
to hoist... simples ... etc..

Block of wood under the side stand and car jack on the sump
Works for me

A simple paddock stand, or turn the bike upside down like a pushbike... easy...

thanks for that guys,im near norwich,I had a paddock stand come with the bike but it picks up through the wheel spindle which seems
strange,cos then the wheel wont come out,im trying to make some blocks to fit each side of the swing arm
thanks for you thoughts.
