Re: When do you use stands? (Tornadom)
I use it mainly for tire changing, oil changing, and chain adjustments.
I got the pitbull setup because it's the most sturdy, and I got a deal 260 for the rear spool and swing arm setup and the new front SS triple treet stand
can't beat that and it'll last forever.

Whats all this talk about spools? How much are they, and what benefits do they offer? I know you have to buy your stand based on spools or no spools. My bike is an 02 f4i can I mount spools on it?

Re: ()
I use only a rear stand...i use it at night in the garage, and when i take the bike to the track...in between runs its effective in putting more oil over the clutch plates to keep them cool...also to spin the tire so i can clean off any debris that i picked up on the return road.
Never really had the need for a front stand though.

I use a baxley sport chock plus a rear stand and the rear stand plus a front stand to lift it all the way off of the ground. I use these all the time too as I have no kickstand.

Re: (ragnaroek)
I like using jackstands for certain projects. Especially when removing shocks or doing anything other than just taking the wheel off or cleaning the chain.

I don't get why all bikes don't come with centerstands. If you ride the bike hard enough to need THAT much ground clearance, you can deal with removing a stand.
Hey GraphiteAccord, alteast my Yam doesn't throw check engine lights left and right! (All I have is neutral, high beam, turn signals, and oil pressure lol)
