I have a 06 F4i and would like to start doing my own oil changes, chain etc. I don't have anyone to help with putting the bike on or taking it off a stand. Is there a stand that can be operated safely by one person? Since the F4i doesn't have spools, it would have to be a swingarm type.


Thanks,

Joe

 

I personally like Pit-Bull, great product from an awesome company

 

Agreed on the pitbull. Very stable and easy to set up for an F4i.

 

actually though, you can put spools on an F4i its just a little trickier...

 

Anything but Vortex, my came warped from the factory and all the hardware stripped on assembly.

 

really??? thats actually the only one I've heard people say is better than Pit-Bull, its the same stand but with 4 wheels and an axel holder

 

I have a cyclecat stand. cyclecat It is designed specifically for single person operation. It costs more than other stands but worth it IMO.

 

how to use any stand by yourself:

I've heard of the swingarm stands sliding off. [:'(] On the pitbull website, there are some weld-on adaptors for spools. That's what I'm going to do.
