Dumb Question

[Shawn]

Ill ask it anyway, for the sake of embarrasing myself.

How do I get the front wheel off the ground without a centre stand, I suspect something funky with the steering head bearings, feel a bit loose...not to mention Ill need my first set of new tyres soon...any tricks to this please...

s never dumb to ask mate ok once its on the centre stand just pop a jack under the bike where the sump is an just slowly jack the bike till the tyre has cleared the ground .........

im sure other guys here have better opinions on this but thats whats i do mate

it

No centre stand on the bike, Im afraid ...looks like it was taken off to accomodate the pipes... dont you hate being the second owner of a bike you know next to nothing about aside from the fact its ballistic.... I may have to procure a centre stand yes, ???

Cheers Shawn
