In this episode of 2:00 Lessons (that is a little over 3:00), Lemmy talks about getting your motorcycle off of the ground. Whether it is a motorcycle jack, or a simple stand, doing this correctly will make your life a heck of a lot easier when doing some of the most basic pieces of routine maintenance.
Digging this short format lads - very nice! ~r
I wish center stands were a more common manufacture option than they appear to be now. Great short video.
A note of important here. Lemmy comments that it's necessary to see the lowest hanging part on your bike, and uses a street glide as example. If you're like me and have something built on the Dyna platform, the lowest hanging part is NOT the frame, but the underside of the transmission case. The pads on a typical motorcycle lift aren't far enough apart to go to the frame on either side of the tranny case, so you have to find another option. HD sells frame supports that you can snap onto the frame which will then allow you to use a bike lift, or you can modify a the lift so the pads are wide enough to let the low bits dangle between the pads and lift on the frame. There are youtube vids around that show how to make the mods if you decide to go that way.
Lemmy in ( honey I shrunk the bikes) coming to theater near you.
2 mins in heaven with Lemmy
The two lowest parts hanging off my Street Glide are my knuckles dragging....
Thanks for all the super-helpful info, RZ... love Lem!
This was great, Lem. Enjoyed this.
Lemmy mentions shock replacement. I used a $5 sawhorse bracket, some 2x4's and ratchet straps to make an A-frame to lift my bike from the subframe. Short of getting a $400 motorcycle lift, it's the best way.
Happy Valentines Day Lemmy, ya big, scruffy lovable oaf. 👍🏻
Sweet, good to know I made a sound decision. Now just gotta find a way to lift my bike from above
great short video with very useful information. revzilla rules
Good use of the models. Go Lemmy!
Thanks a lot bro, I got a vintage from 1979 so I got to do most maintenance and repairs by myself, and I was split whether to get a lift or a jack, now o guess a jack is my go to since I always need to change fork oil, and take whole engine apart
Where can I get cool little miniaturized bike models with miniaturized stands like Lemmy has in the video? You guys at Revzilla have all the cool toys 😅
Why at RevZilla, of course! -DrewZilla

Wow great video. Educational and no extra words lol
Hi there, very nice video. Specifically, what type of stands is good enough for just changing engine oil of Honda 750 Shadow Aero? The second one in this video? Thanks.
looking for that too...
Lemmy you need your own Game Show! You're that good..ask for a raise Mate!
Excellent video Bro.
Keep it up.
looking forward to more of these short vids...good job Lemmy
Lem - Off topic here but hoping you see as this is a newer vid...your Road King video...one of the "dislikes" was the saddle...you mention something about having a LePera Maverick on an in house Street Glide I believe...how awesome is it? Been looking for something from them and or competitor...seats are tough to figure out as you cant really "test" them over a long ride. Any insight would be helpful...thanks
whats the best jack for an indian scout bobber for oil changes?
Do you have a video/tips showing the best way to lift sporty’s from above?
Great tips, I'm currently looking for a new ride. I'm thinking old school bobber is a perfect fit for me.
Got my answer in 30 seconds. Thanks
Have the rear paddock, what front stand is recommended for
ZX-10R for tyre change? Can it be jacked if no front stand is available?
Good video. For most street users who aren't riding a cruiser the best stand is a Pit Bull.....built to last a lifetime and they come in various configurations.
what jack/jackstand would be recommended for installing a lowering link on a 2001 yamaha r6?
What about a lift for a Dyna? I know we have to have special adapters or something and because of that I haven't bought one yet
What to buy scissor lift or rear stand
Just to clean and lube chain.
Great video and timely too just when I was looking to buy a stand for my Indian Chief Vintage. Any recommendations? Thanks
Hi guys! Do you work with Bajaj Pulsars? I know they're not really famous in the US, but they are here in Latin America, I have one so it would be nice to see you talking about them
Thanks mate
I like lift stands for my dirt bike/dual sport as well - easier on the back!
Brilliant video!
Don't do major work with just the center stand. I took both wheels off my R1150R whilst it was on the stand, and you guessed it the balance changed and it tipped forward off the stand. Lucky the underside is tough and with two car jacks under the cylinders I was able to get it up again.
Man my dual sport (Kawi super sherpa is too big to lift on to a stand and too small for the front/rear stand option (I think). This is one mystery as a new Rider that continues to confuse me as to what I should try or order. I need something that gets both wheels up so I can take the wheels off, replace the chain, change the oil etc. A 5-gallon Home Depot bucket kind of does the trick but it's hard to get up and on and off. And damages the bucket.
I actually use ratchet straps and just hang it from my garage ceiling :D does not work with really big ones but it's pretty nice
Need a vid focusing on lifting standers and sportbikes.
1. Lift rear.
2. Lift front.
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

I use jack stands under the pegs on my R6 when doing swingarm and shock maintenance ;)
Don't your pegs fold up?
very interested in where i can get a miniature kit stands included
Hmm, let me see...BOOM! Here ya go! -DrewZilla

Sweet, thanks
Do I need any other alternative stand for my naked Yamaha SZ-X which actually has a middle stand though?
Nice video but do you ship helmets to Mauritius? Or any other gear
Yes, we do ship to Mauritius. Shipping cost depends on size, weight, and value. Some brands may not be shipped to certain destinations due to manufacturer restrictions. If you have selected an item that cannot be shipped internationally, we will inform you in the checkout process on our site. Please see our International Orders Page (www.revzilla.com/international-orders) for more details. -DrewZilla
I bought a front paddock stand and I needed to remove the front wheel, only to find that the paddock stand had a support bracket which covered the wheel nut. That day saw a lot of heavy lifting and curse words
because of MY short stature I'm getting a lowered F750GS that does not (I believe) have a center stand soI will have to use a paddock stand. Does REVZILLA carry them? Thanks
Yes, we carry a number of stands. -DrewZilla

can i get a paddock stand for a cruiser (vulcan 800)
What do you recommend for FZ-07?
For the FZ-07, you'll need at least a rear stand. For any work on the fork or front wheel removal, you'll also need a front stand. Trackside make really affordable options, while Pit Bull make really high quality options. -DrewZilla

I was considering bike jack, but I was worried about my exhaust. It seems I was right. ;]
Well, I might have to think of something for lubricating steering head bearings, but for most other jobs paddock stands work great for me. ;)
Tnx dude 👍
I wish centre stands, even as accessories, were more common
Need more info for sport bikes
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at 877.792.9455 or CS@revzilla.com. Ride safe, Pat
I hate my bike for this, its a naked bike so it doesnt have a centre stand, the dust covers on the bottom cant support the weight of the bike and the designers didnt think to add any holes for the swingarm spools to go in.
This is really simple, if you just ride your bike and have a mecanic and don’t work on your bike buy a piece of wood really to wood that thing from falling, if you work on your bike don’t go cheap on the lift or stand, yo need a stand that you can at leat stap one strap to secure it, thats it
Affirm denied me because of a typo, was gonna finance over $1000 worth of gear. I called and asked and they said they can't do anything about it. I'm sad RevZilla...
Nothing fits on my Rebel 500 ...
ZLA Lemmy it clears the exhaust ?
Center stands!
I think it's time to change the tired on the model sport bike they're bald xD
Since it's a model of a race bike, they went super detailed by mounting racing slicks, which don't have a tread. Gotta make sure you get some miniature tire warmers, too. Otherwise, you'll lowside when taking that first turn too fast on your tabletop race track! -DrewZilla
Supermoto: 1 & 3
I usually just shove my fatboy over on it's side to get the wheels off. What's the worst that could happen?
Every thing to do suspension work. You never showed how to
I disagree with all these options. Working on the ground sucks. Buy a lift table.
Good job not explaining how to get the front end up to fix the forks on a naked bike that has no hole for a triple tree.
That was silly!!!
