Hmmn, just read what I typed there. You know what I mean!

If that was a joke, it was so damn funny.

Could give that method a try !

That's what I used to use. Lean the bike on the sidestand, push it further over so that the wheel is off the deck & put a piece of wood under the swingarm....Simples

it involves using your sidestand as a prop and lifting the rear wheel off the ground while balancing it against yourself. BUT YOU NEED SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU HOW FIRST! Dont go running out there and trying it and then post up saying "that stupid advice made me drop my bike on myself" lol.

Once you've been shown it its easy enough to do but you do need to be a bit of a contortionist to be able to balance it, spin the wheel and spary the lube on all at the same time. But hey i can do it so it cant be that hard

Thats what my bro did to my SV, his R1 and my mates R6 when we were away.....he is a hard bastid though

its easier than it looks tbh...unless he did all 3 bikes at once in which case he is definately well 'ard!

Maybe i'll have to do a Spidey's How To Lube You Chain Balancing Act Class* at the AR.

Anyone who signs up will also get a free pass to the Watch Spidey Juggle act for free.


*Payment of £950 per person per class must be made in advance and in cash only, are not refundable and i cant juggle either. Just by reading this post you have agreed to these terms and conditions and must therefore give Spidey the aforementioned sum of money. Your home is at risk of spider infestations if you fail to maintain your payments. No responsibility is accepted for attempting to copy my techniques and failing miserably and squashing yourself or small childern under you bike as a result, or indeed if you get a jugglig ball in the eye.
