Scratching my head here. Auto floor jack and jack stands? NEVER put a jack under your exhaust to support the weight of the bike. My man, if you are going to own a motorcycle, invest in the proper tools like motorcycle workstands, and the swing arm spools that support the bike on the rear stand. That’s what those 2 threaded holes just in front of the axle block/chain adjuster are for. Better yet, if someone doesn’t have the right tools and needs a video on how to remove the front wheel of a motorcycle, maybe they should pay $30 and let a pro do it.
Our Tracer has a skid plate mounted to the frame, so any jacking is transferred directly to the frame without affecting the exhaust. Secondly, I'm well aware of what pit stands are and they are completely unnecessary here. Jack stands work just fine to get the job done if you are reasonably careful.
So I should pay a shop $120/hr to switch sockets all the time? I'm complaining about lazy engineering. Or perhaps designing a job to take longer so they can bill more labor. Work on a vehicle that is designed with ease of serviceability in mind and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Thank you for the vid. Helped me remove my Tracer front wheel in 10 minutes! Appreciate you taking the time to record it.

It looks to me like you're taking a brand NEW tyre OFF the bike.....

Boy oh boy you complain a lot. If you don't like switching tools why not bring it to a shop and let them do it
