My goodness, that is the bomb, I will be buying one of those, how awesome is that, looks like it is pretty light itself and then what a back saver, that is perfect,. I didn't know they even made them, Ordering one today. Thank you so much my friend.
I remember that you once sad that you adjusted the rear preload to the Max, that's why maybe you can easily slide the stand under neat the bike. With the stock setup you might had to lift up a bit the bike.
+ripmax333 I did adjust it but not to the max. Plus I have a taller rear tire. You can get it under the stock bike by just leaning it over on the side stand a bit.
***** Ohh I see...I'm trying it tomorrow then. My seat sinks down quite a lot ... is that the same adjustment as setting your preload? and do you have to have no weight on the rear tire ? ( on bike stand ) to adjust it ?
+CRF Rider yes it's the only adjustment that you can do on the stock shock. Put the bike on a stand with the rear tire off the ground. Break the top lock nut loose then you should be able to turn the spring clockwise with your hand and the bottom nut will turn with it . I turned mine quite a bit but not all the way .
I just bought a track stand and it’s really hard for me to get my CRF250L up on it. Of course Google knows everything about me and so they suggested this video today because I’ve been searching for a better alternative. So I have two questions number one is this the one that you still have? Or is there a better one that you recommend? And also it doesn’t seem like the back wheel is off the ground enough to roll the wheel to clean the chain. Is it? One last thing, The salesman at cycle gear recommended against this style left because he said that the bars can bend? Appreciate any advice you could give me. 54-years old and I don’t feel like lifting my bike on the stand is the best plan
I still have it and still use it. If you want to raise the rear wheel you scoot it towards the rear of the skid plate and front for the front tire. Bars bend ? It will list a 250L but to won’t lift a big bike
@@WOODZMAN Thanks Frank. The salesman had a crotch rocket and I don’t think he really understood my bike. I did use the track stand today and it was ok.
You say you can change the oil with this stand. Are you able to access the oil plug and have a way to drain it into a container with this setup? I have a CRF250L with the Flatlands plate also and was curious about this.
It don’t work trying to change the oil because as you mentioned, you can’t get to the drain plug and there isn’t a place for the drain pan. I just change the oil with it on the ground and hold the bike level to check it.
Received my HC2 a couple days ago. My 250L still 100% stock but was able to fit the stand under the bike at lowest setting and tilting the bike. I ordered before I got the bike thinking I'd be doing some of the work on this bike. Thanks At 220# myself, would that be a reason I might want to tighten the spring clockwise? Now, that's it. Lights out. Thanks.
+Joe-n-Tex yes adjust the spring and you will be set. Clockwise . Mine works but I do have in leaned over in the kick stand when I slide the lift stand under it. Then I stand my bike up straight.
+Willy's Adventures Thanks ! I have used that stand more in the few weeks that I have had it then I ever used my old stand. It just because it's so easy.
Thanks for the review I am thinking about buying this to replace my cheap rubbish stand i bought off of ebay. The ebay one raises the bike way too high, and i have to lift the bike onto it to get it underneath. When on the stand the bike is also very wobbly and feels unstable. Does this stand still wobble a bit? im guessing they all will slightly, especially if not on even ground.
+Boris theBlade there is some wobble but I think with a list stand, they will all do that. I do have to tilt my bike on the side stand to slide the stand under it but it's pretty simple.
+Sid Shelton You can but if you have a tree around, you can tire a rope from the tree to the handlebars, have the bike on the kick stand, then pull the bike on to the kick stand until the rear tire comes off the ground. If it's the front tire you would do the same but weight the rear of the bike so the front comes off the ground.
Just got one of these for the 300L. So far very pleased!
Awesome
Good to hear I’m thinking about buying one for my 300 I think I will.

+Heartland Dual Sport You can get it at crfsonly.com
***** Awesome, Thank you sir.
have had one of these for years, they are great...
+such is life it's my first one. I won't do without one again.

I do not think preload has anything to do with the ground clearance height.
Has to do with seat travel...
+CRF Rider . If you turn the rear spring tighter it raises the seat height and also gives you more ground clearance !

Add that to the list! Thanks for sharing
+Twistygrip KLR Your welcome ! Nice do to have to lift the bike anymore :)

That looks like a nice lift.Anything to help save our backs...
Great review, nice lift stand. Thanks for sharing.
+Gus Two Wheeling It saves me back :)

Can you measure and tell us how thick is the metal on the top plate? Do you think it will bend very easy if to much weight gets put on a corner?
+Larry Hawkes it's pretty strong . It's 1/8" steel
+WOODZMAN Dual Sport Adventures good to know, thanks a bunch 😀
+Larry Hawkes your welcome
nice looking lift/stand thanks for sharing !!
+Willy's Adventures Thanks ! I have used that stand more in the few weeks that I have had it then I ever used my old stand. It just because it's so easy.

Thanks a lot.
Does the stand feel stable enough to complete all tasks you need it to or are there some where there is a bit too much movement?
+Boris theBlade I do it all on mine but do have a Flatland Racing skid plate and that gives it a wider flat surface to sit on.
*****
Thanks a lot!
+Boris theBlade Your welcome !
Nice stand that one works a lot better than mine, plus it matches the bike lol
+2WHEELTHRILL That is the best part :)
How do you fix flat if your out on road with no stand? Lay bike on side? Is it a pain in a..,?
+Sid Shelton You can but if you have a tree around, you can tire a rope from the tree to the handlebars, have the bike on the kick stand, then pull the bike on to the kick stand until the rear tire comes off the ground.

nicely done sir 👍👍👍
I have a 250 cruiser road bike. Would this be suitable for my bike?
I think it would be to y’all to fit under a cruiser. It’s almost to tall for the 250L
nicely done sir
looks really handy!
+Byoexile Super ! It way easier than trying to lift that bike on a stand. I love it !
Nicely done. stay safe
+Tankerman Thnk you my southern friend !
Is this still what you use today ?
Yes it sure it, still works perfectly
What is the max weight it can lift? I have a DR650
I think its 350lbs
I'm buying one.
It sure makes live easy :)
I have a honda xr 150 with no skid plate would this work
I’m not positive, it depends on how high the frame of your 150 is from the ground. It worked good on my sons CRF150F
ok thanks ill just have to try it
You can measure the height of the bottom of the frame then look at the specs and see what the minimum height is
I will do thanks for being so helpfull
👍
These are great
+Snake Ace Yea I have had it for quite a while now and it still works perfect !
Longevity is very important.
+Snake Ace You got that right !
No longer for sale
That’s sucks, it’s the same as the Bikemaster amzn.to/2C8ruAp
Woodzman Adventures is the bike master cheap made? Or good quality like your drc hc2
They are both about the same quality. Mine is till holding up fine
Woodzman Adventures awesome. I was able to get a DRC HC2 but it’s back ordered till September 5 lol. Not too bad
nicely done sir 👍👍👍
Thanks sir !
