Kane Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 docc, when ever I see pictures of your bike’s engine I am always impressed by how clean it is! Not one trace of oil seepage, road grime……nothing!

Lucky Phil Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 3 hours ago, cash1000 said: Another Photo Yes I got an almost identical one when I bought my bike, Damaged paint to the pork chops and dangerous as hell to use, with the bike moving backwards about 6 inches as it rolls onto the stand. You were also unsighted to one of the nut supports when using it and hoped it hadn't moved out of position as you moved the bike upright and got it settled. It was so dodgy I stopped using it. Anyone that wants it can have it for nothing. The beauty of the socket type with wheels is the stand stays captive on the mount nuts so the stand can't disconnect from the bike and the stand rotates safely and controllable under the bike on its own wheels. It also means you can roll the bike into a front wheel chock so it's vertical and lift the rear of the bike while in the chock. For the sake of $150 or so the other type isn't worth the risk.

It has plastic clevises to avoid marking the pork-chops. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Since I routinely use the Baxley SportChock to index the front tire on the lift, it gives me great trepidation (the "heebie-jeebies" ) when I have to remove the front wheel for a tire change/ brake service/ fork service. Belts and suspenders (and lift and platform jack) using the rear tire as an index point this time . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Front tire change is easy. Just back it into the chock, tie it down, and lift under the motor.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would need a couple other capable guys to back mySport up onto the lift into the chock. Solo? No way. Y'all come, now! Ya hear? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you Docc, what sounds like a good idea seems a little risky with a 500lbs bike... I would not try that solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80CX100 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Putting the bike on a lift and using a jack to raise it to get the front wheel off is relatively easy. Getting it up in the air, supported, balanced and tied off securely so you can remove both wheels at the same time; requires some careful thought and planning. My Tonti frames with a center stand are child's play in comparison. fwiw ymmv jmho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced one of my originals with part of a set another member had for sale here. The fitment was very subtly different even though they were both first gen Tekno.

Pressureangle Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 For front wheel service, I put a Pit Bull stand under the swingarm and a small jack with wood block under the front of the sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
