| Prior to using an ABBA stand, I used a steel bar thru' the swingarm pivot and put and axle stand under each end......
12mm or 14mm bar goes straight through.
Lift the bike on the paddock stand, using some flat timber under the wheels will lift it higher if needs be, get the stands under then remove the stand.
The ABBA stand is a god send though. Worth the expense IMO.
C&S can be changed with the bike on the sidestand..........once the nut is loose. Just don't move the bike around too much/at all, and use the normal stand whenever possible. i.e. riveting the chain, tensioning the chain etc. |
