18-01-07, 07:14 PM

Now I know that it has been mentioned that its best to lift all the wheels off the ground for storage but I don't think I have that facility.

I am lucky enough to be in possession of 2 sv's, (not bragging or anything!) one of which I doubt I will use until the summer, so whats the best way to keep it? Rear off the ground with a paddock stand or both boots on the ground with the side stand?

The way I see it is that; if I use the rear paddock stand then the weight is gonna be on the front tyre and the suspension but if its on the side stand the weight is even on both, and is that really a good thing?

Opinions please??
