Little Joe Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 What is the best way, with ease and stability, to lift my '04 R1150RT to remove both wheels simultaneously? Link to comment
Boffin Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I use the centrestand with an axlestand under the swingarm and the front of the engine. Andy Link to comment
Tank Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I also just use the center stand with a 2' by 8" 3/4 piece of plywood under it. I would also suggest removing the rear tire first as I have found that I need to tug and wiggle it a little. Link to comment
Davis Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I use the centerstand and a sissor jack under the oilpan. Link to comment
EricJRW Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I always thought it would be nice to have something to bolt in place of the rear wheel (once removed) to keep the bike stable so that I could work on the front. Something with an "A" shape that provided a place to put weight, though I would still also like tie-downs (to the floor) as well. Link to comment
John Montoya Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 There are two holes you can put a long rod in that will lock your centerstand so it won't flip up. Then take off the front wheel and place an old milk crate under the forks. Then take off the back. Anyway you go, it can be spooky. I try to avoid doing it if at all possible. Link to comment
