Front Paddock Stand for CBR600RR3
|
As title, looking for a front paddock stand for a CBR600RR3, preferably
next day delivery.
|
Abba stand and either a jack under the engine - there's usually a gap
as Champ said - or hang heavy things off the tail using a tie-down
strap slung carefully over the tailpiece / pillion seat, if it has
one.
Years ago I used to balance a couple of spare LC wheels rather
precariously on the backs of bikes (on their centre stands) to raise
the front end.
|
Had a look at the Harris website but doesn't appear to list CBR600RR
2003 as a supported model. Also fails on the next day delivery thing
too. Although the Race front under-yoke type paddock looks just the
business !
I've got a Micron rear paddock stand but I'm struggling to get details
on whether the Micron front will work with my bike.
Reason for this is the usual local dealer lack of staff available to do
it for me when I can get the bike to them. If I can bring the wheel
they'll do it whilst I wait.
Can't go elsewhere because the tyre was a special order.
And the searched the web for ukrm plank of wood under the sump solution is not going
to happen.

Sorry, missed this sentence intially.
I have to ask - why not?
|
A bit of a PITA getting the belly pan off the fairing first I suppose,
|
On both my bikes, the bottom of the belly pan doesn;t actually meet
(i.e. the bottom of the engine isn't enclosed), so you don't have to
remove the belly pan to rest the exhausts on the blocks.
|
but I don't see why it shouldn't work then.

When I did the rear wheel last week I had a little scare manouvring the
bike on the rear paddock stand so I could lock the garage door.
If it starts to become a hassle , I'd rather wait for the local dealer
to do it. I'd have to drop it off the night before and pick it up the
next evening and when the sun is shining and the roads are dry it's
criminal to have the bike off the road for a day. Problem is I don't
think the front tyre will wait for the next wet day :-( .

Tilt over on side stand, prop fork leg with axle stand

I used to use a beer crate on my NX650. Plastic Holsten Pils ones are
perfect for the job. Comes in handy for supporting the final drive on the
|
Factory tool I'll have you know:
|
That's the puppy. Taller than a brown ale crate and a more rigid
construction.
|
|
R-GS too.
|
|
I just put an axle stand under each fork leg.
