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 Henrik |

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

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. -Ras |

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. |
