Use a strap around the front brake lever to hold it on full. Turn steering to left. Kneel down next to RHS of bike. Push up on the tank - this will bring the rear up in the air. Put a hammer or simialr length strong item between the rear of the swinging arm and the ground. This will hold the bike plently steady enough to clean the chain etc.... |
