A few maintenance questions - SV650.org

30-04-05, 01:28 PM

Ive been looking at cleaning my front forks but need to have free play in the front of the bike. I have a rear and front paddock stand setup so would I be able to put a support underneath the bike to allow me to remove the front stand when working on the forks?

What do other people use for this?

Have a look at this site to see an example of how you could do it...

That link was good but it doesn't really explain much. I can see that a jacks being used but what sort of protection would u use and where would you position it specifically?

I would suggest a plank of wood on top of a crate directly underneath the crankcase.

The wood is relatively soft and won't damage the engine.

Not done this myself.
