    This video is very justified, as I myself feel awkward about moving my bike around at times. I like to ride it, but when it's stationary, I can get into a wrestle with it.

    Been riding for 37 years and found this very interesting. I have very rarely had to push and pull a bike around, so I suppose the more you do it the better you are. Although I regularly do the side stand swivel.
    Always admired when motorcycle salesmen maneuver bikes around in small spaces.
    Thanks

    While a schoolboy in Texas in 1959 I read a book by a British motorcyclist, Come Motorcycling With Me. Two years later I got my first, a Zundapp KS 600, while stationed in Germany. Here we are a few years later, and I am still learning from the Brits. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    I ride a sports bike which I've found soooo.. difficult to manoeuvre in to the space where I keep it, because it's so heavy.
    I tried one of the methods that you mentioned, standing over the front wheel and holding the handle bars, and it works a treat!!!
    No more struggles! Love it!
    Thanks again, great video.

    Some great tips there, however I have to spin my Versys 1000 thru 180 degrees in a tight area whenever I want to enjoy a ride on it so I purchased a Motorbike Turntable. One of the best investments I've made and turning my bike is not only a breeze now but safe too. If you don't like the idea of pivoting yours on the sidestand I'd thoroughly recommend researching turntables as they come in a variety of styles and costs (Centre Stand and Side Stand types)... well worth it and no fear of dropping your bike whilst performing the manouvre, ever!

  • @tonyatkinson5472
    @tonyatkinson5472 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Very helpful, I tried the standing over the front wheel today and this works great for tight spaces both going forwards and backwards. I tried it with a bicycle first and felt comfortable, then did the motor bike. Thank you.

      You're a genius! I wanted to try this, but not with my Ducati, and now I'm going to give it a go first with a pushbike.
      Cheers mate. brilliant idea.

    I am always tilting the bike to the side I am standing because I fear that If I keep it perfectly vertical but make mistake and tilt it just tiny bit to the other side I may not be able to prevent it from dropping.

    • @reggieoverton121

  • @Thelivewire64

    Used my Paddock stand first time today. Absolutely, the bike wanted to stay up during setup and lift. The whole process was much easier than I expected.

    Walking it backwards would have helped when my electric motorcycle ran out of power. Going to use that if I ever have that issue again.

  • @AC-id6rf
    @AC-id6rf 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Stand down is a great tip. I’d be cautious making a habit of pivoting your bike on it’s stand. Though I concede motorcycle traders and mechanics do this all the time.
    A mate used to do this on this on his Triumph Scrambler, manoeuvring the bike and to oil the chain maybe he was unlucky but his stand did break after only a couple of years.

  • @paulsmyth497
    @paulsmyth497 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mike - Honestly, when I read the comments from the guys below I was devastated for you mate. I did not see the excitement I expected. I am a biker to my soul - BUTTTTTT - after 40 years without a bike ( but having ridden a few in between), I have NEVER - and I mean - NEVER seen a more valuable 7 minutes of God-Like wisdom, "Bikerly" speaking. Mike - that video was utterly awesome. Arise Sir Mike of TOP tips. Owning some heavy chaps in my stable (Early Goldwing for one) but also some later fire crackers (a 916SPS for one - just before your followers tell me I am an old, and useless tosser) - I was one of the first lads I know that understood counter steering back in 1978. My mates thought I was certifiable. We are (it seems) Unicorns Mike - but I am only here to pay homage to you - superb mate . Luvvit . Please don't hate me guys for being a normal, proper, non-whinging biker - for being too positive. Ride safe boys. Cheers

  • @mahadevs6963
    @mahadevs6963 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The one thing which is impressive is..
    Pushing the bike by holding the handles from front..
    This is so good when u have heavy bikes and to push it upwards in a slope.
    Thanks for that tip..

  • @ethancheng1595
    @ethancheng1595 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The side stand pivot is genius. I was about to give up parking at my apartment because it's so tight that I couldn't get my bike in even after doing a 15-point turn - every day I end up having to use my arms to lift the rear of bike to get it in place. I'm gonna go to an empty parking lot and practice the pivot trick tomorrow.

  • @GareyCooperdude

    • @Syangden
      @Syangden 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Just be careful. I tried this on my old bike (Aprilia Shiver) and the side stand switch stopped working. The stand bent just enough that it wasn't pressing the side stand switch, so now the bike thinks side stand is never engaged even when the stand is down.

    • @Haplo59
      @Haplo59 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If your side stand is attached to the motor, NEVER do it.
      A few Ducati 1198-1098 have been ruined like that...

    • @aaronli4171
      @aaronli4171 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe some of the ducatis have aluminium side stands which are lightweight and can't take the full weight of the bike spinning on it.

  • @imautuber
    @imautuber 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great tips there, thanks for posting. I was told by a dealer as regards spinning the bike around on the spot to be cautious with bikes that have cast side stands. He said in all the decades of trading the only side stands that he has ever had fail on him doing this were cast and that he had never had a welded pipe side stand fail.

    @doncarr9435 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great. I have no reason to move my motorcycle today but I just have to give the the side stand 180 a try today. A broken side stand and a busted leg is a small price to pay for a s**t-hot maneuver. Probably the only way I’ll ever make it on TH-cam. Roll the cameras.

  • @Mr-ed5ep
    @Mr-ed5ep 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Spinning on the side is something I've done for many years also. Big disclaimer, if your kickstand starts to get loose, its ready to give out. I stopped doing it after having two bikes loose the stand, except for emergencies. To my fault, i used to do it all the time, but as a machinist put it, the metal bolts and aluminum frame are not designed for repeated heavy loads. Holding the weight (upright) is one thing, rotating it on the stand puts a lot of torque and pressure on the smaller bolts that support the large bolt.

  • @baconbaconbobacon
    @baconbaconbobacon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you all are going to pivot on the side stand, make sure to buy an extra side stand for your bike, i know someone who did this and the stand cracked, bike would not go into first because it would shut off because of the sensor and was not safe leaving the bikes weight on the side stand, they had to wait 2 months for that back ordered part to come in!

  • @gamekeeper687
    @gamekeeper687 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Key point about the side stand from a technicians point of view, it is as he a said ‘prop’ stand, designed only to support the weight of the bike on when on the stand. When people get on to their (mainly) adventure bikes using the pegs to swing their leg over with the stand down, puts serious strain on the stand and the bracket and have seen my fair share of sidestands/brackets broken leading to further damage when their bike has collapsed underneath them.

    • @alexanderf3690
      @alexanderf3690 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      gamekeeper687 Most of adventure bikes have a central stand. Doing same rotating trick (or swinging legs over) on a central stand do not harm the bike.

    • @Jake-yy9fg
      @Jake-yy9fg 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      you'd think if you can put the entire weight of the bike on the stand, then it would be fine with only a slight bit of leaning weight + the leaning weight of the rider.depends if you're 12 stone or 20 stone i guess.

    • @gamekeeper687
      @gamekeeper687 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alexander F I absolutely agree just my customers at least don’t seem to use them or certainly people I see at bike cafes etc

    • @gamekeeper687
      @gamekeeper687 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jake well it not the full weight, I’m no mathematician but due to the bike only leaning over a slight amount (bike dependent) it only has to support a 3rd of the weight for argument sakes. Then someone putting an extra 10 stone let’s say, directly on to the peg right by the side stand is not good for the bike and I’ve seen the results multiple times 🤷‍♀️

    • @dondle2
      @dondle2 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Being a short arse ,I regularly use the peg to swing my leg over the seat, but always from the right side of the bike. Done correctly it actually reduces the weight on the kickstand as soon as you put your weight on the right peg.

    @karlosh9286 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    All good stuff. Although I don't think I'll ever do the side stand turn. As the chap mentions, and exactly as I thought when I saw a dealer do this manoeuvre last year, the side stand isn't designed to take that kind of weight.
    The Exeter Rider (youtuber) did make a turntable contraption that looked like it is a lot better for turning a bike on the spot. Although you have to wheel it onto the turntable ( basically a plank of wood with a pivot in the middle )
    Pulling or pushing the bike from the front, I might be doing that one. Looks good for tight spots.

    Hmmm, I'm gonna try pushing from the front. That's an interesting one!

    Useful video.
    One question on the final method-spin method.
    Ducati Panigale and SF have their side stand attached to engine cases by means of the rear sets.
    Would this not put undue stress on engine cases possibly causing a crack?

    Thank you mate some really good advise here. Definitely going to try moving around from the front. Its strange to think part of being a proficient motorcyclist starts without even getting on the bike. Ha Ha. Cheers.

    To be honest I think paddling it is the best because you can just use the engine assist to get it out of any place or into any place

    I have just purchased a HD Electra Glide where most of your techniques do no apply and you drive way is very smooth. I am not saying this as negative aspect. There are motorcycle dollies for the heavy bikes that you push your bike up the dolly and move it anywhere. 1 caution is using it on an incline up or down and very uneven surfaces.
    Otherwise the motorcycle can be moved relatively easy. Thank you very much for your video. Greatly appreciated.
