lift your bike for service, the easy way. (the guy in the photo weighs 135 pounds, so you can probably do it too)

Great for a roadside quick-fix, but considering the kick-stand issues that have been mentioned occasionally, I probably wouldn't make it a habit : )

Why so difficult? A rope to a rafter is already enough.

I employ the lift and block technique frequntly for chain lubrication, and less frequently for tire changing. have had no stability problems, at least while engine is NOT running. i have had the bike walk off kickstand while idling, had to replace footpegs and clutch lever as result.

Great, but how is the bike lifted on to the block? That 135lb. guy must have one heck of a strong left arm! From the angle of the pics it actually looks like he has no left arm.

Rasmonis - My guess is that he pivoted it over on the kickstand to get the tire up. That way he doesn't have to lift the entire weight of the bike.

perfect - If it fails, you can pay a frame for about 2000€ in worst case if no side protection is on.
