going to do my 5k 3 hole change later but I'm trying to figure out how i can keep the bike upright and off the stand to change the primary oil. any suggestions? i don't have anywhere to lean it against a wall. thanks!

 

Invest in a floor jack, Harbor Freight or another brand.

 

Something like this .........

 

Screen shots from a previous post.

 

I just put the stand on some scrap 2X6. It doesn't have to be perfect.

If you don't have a bike lift, you can get it off the ground and level rocking it left and right on them sliding them under the frame.

I would rather do that especially to do primary work . Safer to torque that way.

 

Block of wood or two under the kickstand and near level is good enough, we don't have an orbital launch vehicle here folks.

 

Not Rocket Surgery or Brain Science eh?
Next question: How do I put air in my tires when the valve stem is behind the fork or under the fender?

 

This is a trick question, right ?
