Why do you think it's on the stand? He's obviously about to wash it...

Nice write-up Evil. Also check out T-Rex stands on ebay. High quality and low prices. I bought a front triple clamp stand for $80 shipped and it works great.

Ok now I am going to sound like a complete idiot and I'm ready for that. But why would you need one of these service stands? Of the three bikes I have been around none of them used anything but the regular kick stand or a center stand. I assume it is just to be more stable like a center stand is but without the added weight of being attached to the bike? If there is some other logic to it I would really love to hear it as it has never made much more sense than that. I know one guy with a sportbike and he has one. His reason was that the racers had them so he bought it which didn't do much for me.

I guess I never thought about wheel changes much as I have always used a motorcycle jack to lift mine in the air securely. It makes sense though if you don't have a big jack that locks.

You can't get motorcycle jacks to hold the bike level on the ZX's/ ninjas firstly because of the fairings and second due to the exhausts inderneath the engine & frame. The swingarm, forkor triple tree stands are the best, cheapestand most efficient way to work on them.
