Fellas,

I've got myself a nice paddock stand for the rear. I've setup the bike so it's almost vertical and with the help of the neighbour had a go at hooking her up at the rear.

No luck, I put all my weight on it, but the bike would not move rise up with the paddock stand.

The front wheel was inline with the bike and the bike was in neutral.

I don't understand what i'm doing wrong... do i need to push the bike back onto the stand rather than leaver the stand...

Cheers,

Martin

its a tilt and slide motion

as the stand start to tilt backwards
the wheels slide forward

you can help this by sorta trying to pull
the rear of the bike towards you
as you press down on the end of the stand


hth


cheers

4 options
-buy a lighter bike
-put some weight on yourself
-weld a longer handleon the stand
-buy a longer handles stand

good luck champ

This is a thread from a while ago on how to use a rear paddock stand by yourself(good info) :

Also just make sure the hooks on the stand are inline with the pickup knobs and stand on the rear of the stand(piss easy )....not much weight on the rear of a bike .......should come up nice n easy!

Hey Wattie, don't think i can get a lighter 600 and a 03 636...

I will have another go when i can grab the neighbour...

All I know is it was hooked nicely on the bobins and i put all my weight on it, but it would not come back and raise itself onto to the stand.

I'll let you know how i go.

Cheers,

Martin

I notice you have those delrin pickup knobs on the back, is the stand fitting on those right.

you should be able to do it mate, i can get the six up by myself (except when i've had some drinks )

Plan A.
Position it into both Bobbins & Gently stand all your wt on the back of the stand.
Plan B. Go to Coles buy 2lt of VANILLA Coke, pm me your addy i'll come over & show you how, like i did for the "Kingkie".
I'll be out n about today Anyway doing other bike stuff
Cheers Brett
