Poor man's track stand.

[Guest]

As the FZ doesn't have a centerstand it is difficult to work on the underside. The lift gets in the way. So on the advice of a few folk I tried substituting jackstands on the swingarm. The poor man's track stands.

Easy enough to do with the help of some one holding the bike upright. I just used my floor jack to lift then we slid the stands in under the back corners of the swingarm. Slick as butter and surprisingly sturdy:



So with the back end of the bike in the air and nothing under the belly I can drain the oil, remove the pipes or even pull the engine if my work on the clutch doesn't help the transmission issue.

Cheers,

For some reason I was expecting a picture of a bike on a milk crate...

I like your solution better!
