Im trying to remove the front wheel ( time4new tire ) but i dont have a wheel stand .. do u think i can use jack to lift up from oil pan ? i really dont like the sounds of it ~ and i know that there is a stands for that ..but cant afford it .. i was just wondering if anyone tried or if its safe what not ..

 

I would venture to say...TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.....let them take care of all that...in the long run youll be better off..i mean jacking a motorcycle up by the oilpan....nah...seek trained service professionals....

 

bad idea unless u have fron and rear stands

 

If you don't mind crushing the headers...go ahead...

You can always suspend the bike with heavy straps from your rafters in your garage, but I agree that it might be better to take it in, or getsome freakin' stands!

 

You can either invest in a stand (which will pay for itself eventually) or you can pay extra for a shop to do it.

 

It's times like this that i miss the center stand on my EX500...

 

One stand won't do it fish...it's not safe to only lift the front, so he'd have to buy a front and a rear stand...and yes they would eventually pay for themselves...I use mine virtually every day.

 

I assumed he had a rear stand.

 

your assumption is incorrect!

many have jacked from the header with no problems...but i personally wouldn't do it.

 

Yea ~ I'm Looking for Some Deals on Craigslist n stuff ~ Tks All
