HELP! for the new guy
 

Hey guys, have a 2002 Cbr 600 f4i and trying to get the rear tire changed. I bought a rear stand from Harbor Freight, Pittsburgh tools and I can seem to see where I would pivot it onto the bike. My bike was bought used and had several after market additions but I assumed that the frame would have these universally. Thanks in advanced for paying it forward with this guy.

Unless spools were added to your swingarm, you have to use the paddle type stand.

I have a bike manual that has really helped make repairs easier. Since it is specific to your bike it can walk you through step by step.

You bought a stand before making sure it would fit. Do as 74demon says.
