I was wondering if theres anyway to lift up the front of the the bike without a front stand. I need to change the brake rotors.
Are there any points on the bike strong enough so that I can use a jack stand to prop the bike on the rear tire and kick stand?

 

I have removed the front wheel by using 2 motorcycle tie downs and a couple of hooks from my garage ceiling. put a soft strap on each clip-on and pull the tie downs one at a time to raise the front wheel. As for the rear, remove the slip-on and use a jackstand under each rear set.

 

I agree lifting it will work. I have also takin the front wheel off with a floor jack. I put it on the side stand and turned the bar I think all the way to the right. Put the floor jack under one of the forks. Anyways I cant remember how but I got it to work safely. lol
