Turning bike in small spaces... - SV650.org

Any suggestions as to how to go about turning the bike around in a small space? Like a garage

On the side stand?
Balance it and lift it, foot on the stand and spin the bike round.

you can get a device that fits under the back whhel.. so you can just rotate it..

also theres anoner more exensive one that fits under the wheel and the side stand.. cant recall what it is called..

but I know they are about £50 and £90 respectively..

If we had a centre stand we could use one of these:

I think there was something like a ride on turntable for the garage in one of the magazines I read.It was a long ramp that rotated. Can't remember what it was called, sorry.

Do the sidestand spin... Much less terrifying than it sounds.

Easy peasy, make sure the side stand bolts are tightened
