Hello Husky friends. Just got an SM610 and I'm trying to figure out the best way to lift the rear wheel and get the bike level. I used to use a brick underneath the kickstand to get my old Ninja 250 level and then lifted the rear wheel using some swingarm spools. But, there isn't any place to put spools on the 610 and the kickstand obviously can't be counted on to get the bike back down. Since I'm too wussy to lift the bike onto one of those motocross stands, I figure there are 3 options: 1. Buy a rear stand that goes underneath the swingarm and modify the kickstand somehow to make the process resemble what I used to do. Is there a quick way to modify the kickstand to behave like a sport bike? 2. Buy a stand that can lift the bike via the frame. Would the oil drain bolts be blocked in this case? 3. Buy a wheel chock and a roller. Brainstormed this while looking at motorcycle lifts/stands, not sure if this will even work. I just need a cheap and safe way to get the bike in a position to lube the chain and change the oil. Any suggestions?
I use a pitbull rear stand and use these sliders as spools.... http://www.supermotoengineering.com/subsubcategory.php?subsubCatId=92
Very easy! Its just a threaded rod that goes through the center of the axle. The sliders are held on with nuts at the ends. Just be sure to loctite the nuts on.
