Front and Rear Motorcycle Stand Instructional Guide

**** ALWAYS INSTALL YOUR REAR STAND PRIOR TO INSTALLING ANY FRONT STAND ****

Rear Stand Installation:

1) Determine which stand is the front and which is the rear. The narrower of the two is designed for the front and the wider of the two is designed for the rear.

2) Ok, now determine which type of rear attachment you intend on using on the motorcycle. You have a choice between the universal “L” shaped attachments that will lift from the swing-arm. NOTE: If your motorcycle does not allow for swing-arm spools or if it does allow for swing-arm spools, but you do not have a set installed, you must use the universal “L” shaped attachments to lift the bike via the swing-arm. If you do in fact have spools attached to your swing-arm, it is recommended that you utilize the “Y” shaped spool attachments to lift the bike for a superior hold.

3) Now position yourself and the rear motorcycle stand behind your bike. Begin to stand the motorcycle upright by holding onto the rear tail section and standing the bike up vertically (BE CARE NOT TO TIP YOUR MOTORCYCLE OVER. THIS ONE HANDED OPERATION IS DIFFICULT), or the other option is to position a block of wood or something else under the kick stand to get the bike in an almost vertical position. Once you have the bike virtually upright, maneuver the stand and the attachments you have chosen into their appropriate positions. Having a second person helping to hold the bike upright may be a good idea until you get the hang of the lifting process.

4) Once you have the appropriate attachments in place as indicated in the pictures above, while holding onto your motorcycles tail section for stability, push downward on the rear portion of the stand to lift the rear wheel off the ground as indicated in picture 3.

Front Fork Stand Installation:

1) AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED YOUR REAR MOTORCYCLE STAND FIRST! You are now able to install the front fork stand as well. The picture below is of the rubberized front fork attachments. NOTE: If you have a 2002 or older Yamaha R1 or R6, your forks are not of equal length. You may need a shim to compensate for the shorter fork. Please contact us and we can set you up with one.


2) Make sure your front tire is pointing straight forward and then position the front fork stand as indicated in the pictures below. Please look VERY CLOSELY at picture #4 and make sure you are using the proper attachments as indicated.
