@@flashgraff4285 PITBULL
My dad was watching me struggle with a rear stand my brother had just got me for Christmas. Goes "ayy why not put this 2x4 block under the kickstand?" We try it and well what do you know. Keeps the bike just under fully upright enough to get the stand's prongs under the bobbins. Works like a charm, RIP dad.
Brilliant idea!
That works, I did the same, my side stand is quite short and the bike leans.
I’ve been doing this for years and yet it’s still fun to watch …. (Plus, I’m envious of that floor. Mine looks like a well used WWII runway after a lot of leaky planes landed.)
:) yes!

Only Greg can talk for over 10 mins about bike stands. But we love that he does.
:)
You are my go to for all motorbike related stuff … always explains it in a super easy way and gives newbies like me the confidence to do it myself! Thanks 😊
If i can give my two cents: you can put a little raise under the stand like a tile so it stays a bit straighter, then you can go back to position and lift the stand without even touching the bike, i've been doing it like this and it works perfectly!
whatever works for you :)
Glad I watched this. First bike I've needed to use a paddock stand on and have now done it 10-20 times on my own, but wondered why the initial 1-2 inch pivot/lift was so difficult. Thought maybe the stand was not ideal for my bike or I was doing it wrong, however I notice that you also have to force that initial movement, once it starts to move it's fairly simple , just need to commit to that first push. Also glad you emphasise the kick stand !!! I now have a red piece of tape near the handle of the PStand with kick written on it, saved me twice.
thanks :)
Awesome! I was not comfortable with that Jack, always rushing and not standing the bike up, very helpful for me, thanks for putting this video up👍🏽👍🏽
:)
Great advice. My first attempt at putting my bike on a stand today was never going to work because the ground was uneven and not quite level, and I had the bike in neutral so the rear wheel still turned. Once I'd found some decent, level ground and put the bike in first gear I was successful.
Thanks for watching ❤️ MotoJitsu.com for my App, Books, Merch, Discounts, etc. 👍🏼
Thanks for the vid. Using the traditional rear stand always makes me nervous so the tips are appreciated! If I can I always try to use my pitbull rear stand with the side lift. So much more stable.
welcome!
Nicely done and explained. When mine fell off the stand it was because A.) was not on level ground- slight downgrade to non-kickstand side. B.) did not exert pressure coming off the stand toward kickstand side so bike would fall correctly to left. (for this reason I also recommend turning handlebars left before going off the stand)
Thanks :)

Pitbull stands are the best! Worth every penny. Nice demo. Seems simple enough but I have been surprised at how many people really dont know how and have had disasters happen because they tried it not knowing exactly how. I hope this helps some folks. Thanks for putting this on.
Exactly:) thanks
I just bought my 2022 Yamaha XSR700 and this saved me. Thank you, sir!
I use a velcro strap to "lock" my front brake when I put it on and take it off the read stand. I've found it helps the bike from rolling on the garage floor
whatever works for you :)
Great idea.
Thanks, I needed this. Did have no clue about stands but now I know it all.
Thanks for the vid - good timing as I bought a rear paddock stand this week and wanted a how-to.

Useful video for beginners !
It was a bit stressfull for me the first time I used my rear stand. I do pretty much the same as you exept I am on the left side of the bike.

Just put it in first gear and turn the bike off it will not roll
Actually never seen this done before and learned some things so thanks.
I just ordered one stand and i was thinking about the process... perfect timing thank you ❤️
Hope you like it!
Recommend having the taller part of the “V” on the spool pickup towards the front of the bike. This is per Pit Bull.
works the same.
@@MotoJitsu I think that you are being a bit dismissive. These are well engineered stands and I put my money on the designers and why they took the time and effort to design and make that V asymmetrical. That taller part of the V is there for a reason. It's because, not only are you lifting, but initially you are having to capture the spool and there is a degree of rearward pressure in that motion. That taller section of the V makes that a bit easier as well as a bit safer. On the stands with the side / forward handle, the V would be mounting to the rear as they are putting some forward pressure on the spools.
@@DavidM2002 He likes to do the telling, but he doesn't like to be told. It's a teacher thing.
Love the pitbull stands. I have the rear and front w/pin, for my Speed Twin. It live the whole winter on those stands.
:) nice

As always, you are the man MotoJitsu!
That's funny, I just cleaned and lubed my chain for the first time and almost dropped it twice. Good thing I stood on the right side of the bike and caught it. It's so nerve-wracking using the rear stand 😅
sheesh
dude i really love watching your videos and it's good to see your subscribers grow throuh time, keep it up man🤘
I appreciate it!
Thank you! This is really helpful!, I dropped my bike two time because stand 😂😂, you really give me more confidence thank!
I will practice what you teach, when I get back home!
you're welcome!
Small tip - put a flat piece of wood under the side stand, then the bike is quite straight and thus you can attach the mounting stand even easier safely.
whatever works for you

Great instruction,...now going to get those stands. 👍
What the ... looks sooo easy!!! Learned something again, i did not realize before that it can be done alone...Thank you very much for sharing!!!!
:)
The best video on this topic!👍
thanks for sharing the experience, it's always useful to see how the same thing is done by others. I can add a little bit to the shown regarding handlebar position. I'd recomend to set it in neutral/straight position before the rear end ex. Why ? - The ground surface might be not ideal and small stand's wheel might get stuck in a bump - in this case, as you're lifting the rear, the stand doesn't move and the bike moves backward and it has to move along a line, not a curve, so the handlebar has to be in neutral position.
btw, what is the yellow thing hanging from the ceiling ?
you're welcome! Many ways to do one thing, this is how I do it.
Great video. Never knew the red rubber cushions could be used to lift the bike from under the swing arm. Yes, swing arm and not the frame. Other than that minor glitch, awesome video. Thanks for schooling me with the Pit bull stand, can't wait to try this.
thanks!
Thanks for good tip from S.Korea.
The Pitbull stands with the extended handle provide nice lifting leverage. I have a lesser stand that’s just a loop and I have to put my whole body weight on it to lift my bike. Doesn’t allow an extra hand to steady the bike. I need to use it with a front wheel chock that supports the bike upright by itself before lifting the rear, or have a helper steady the bike from the front.
I agree with this comment 100%. I have venom rear stand from amazon. And that thing need whole body weight down to lift the bike. I have used my friends pitbull and its a piece of cake to lift bike up on pitbull. Good stand makes a big difference.
:)
Great video SenSei! I found that all my bikes, whether spooled or not are 13" apart to the inside of the rubber flange or spool forks. My Thruxton R is impossible to do alone as there is nothing to hold onto in the rear of the bike. I bought the Pit Bull that has the lever arm offset to the left side of the bike. This one rolls under the bike so you can use the handlebars to balance the bike while you push down on the arm with your hand or your foot. The good news is that it isn't sticking out behind the bike to trip on. The bad news is that it's under the bike if you have to work on something. Awesome stuff!
🙌👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋🙂

I'm lifting a 750 pound cruiser with pit bull stands. When working alone it's a lot easier if you put a piece of lumber under the kick stand to straighten the bike up when lifting and lowering.
Just the advice I needed.
Amazing video. Thanks
The only times a bike of mine has hit the ground is forgetting the side stand taking it off the rear stand. Twice in fifteen years so far. No major damage (frame sliders are worth their weight in gold) aside from my ego, but I damn sure check my side stand a million times before taking the rear stand down now. Even still that moment when I let it drop towards the side makes my heart skip no matter how many times I do it without issue.
lol yes! be sure it's down and forward all the way
Thanks use-full info.. 🏍
Thanks for this video.!

Honestly speaking... this is the cleanest and most organized garage I have ever seen.
👍🏼
Thank you for sharing!
welcome!
great instructor
Glad you think so!
I just bought a similar rear stand. But I assembled it differently from you. I switched the right and left forks fitting the spools of your Z. Then the longer part of the fork will grip from below. I thought that looked safer?? Thanks for many instructive videos, btw.
if you have wood joist in your garage just put two eyehooks into the joists and then use two motorcycle tie-down straps to hook onto the handlebars and use them to straighten and secure the bike before you use the Pit Bull. Much safer way and less stressful. Or you can buy yourself a front-wheel chock which will also hold the bike upright but a little less safe in my opinion.
I had no problem using front and rear stands on my Kawasaki Versys 650, which did have spools installed. The Kawasaki Concours 14 I purchased last year is another matter entirely. To start, commercial stands are not wide enough to span between the spools that I installed on the swing arms. In any case, the "Connie" is much too heavy and the balance point is too narrow to allow a single person to lift the rear in a stand. I'm still trying to figure out how to fabricate some type of mechanism to lift the bike. The bike has front and rear crash bars. The rear bars project to protect the panniers. I think some type of powered jack that engages the rear crash bars and that can be actuated remotely while holding the bike upright may be the solution. Meanwhile, I've used my engine hoist (which I have to retrieve from storage and assemble to use) to lift the bike bodily for wheel access.
I just use a piece of block and insert it under the sidestand to level the bike. Still not confident enough balancing the bike. This is a very a good tutorial to start with. Also in my parking space the bike is all the way to the right almost near the wall so theres no way for me to stand on the right side of the bike. Im always positioned at the rear center of the bike when i mount/dismount it from the paddock stand. But still, I need to practice this style.
whatever works for you :)
Bless you sir
Thanks!
No problem!

I found at first using a rear stand was the nervous of getting it off the kickstand and balanced in the middle. I started to, and honestly still do to, park the bike kickstand on a two by four, making the bike stand more upright by its own.
do it more often, only way to get better at anything :)
@@MotoJitsu oh I know, this was like 16 years ago when I decided to start using a stand. But by default I park on a kickstand stand at home, so it's always sitting upright.
Nicely done.
Thank you!
Thank You
You're welcome
i put a block of wood under the sidestand to get the bike nearly vertical. it s easier to put the stand on the spools .
whatever works for you
Very informative.
Glad you think so!
@@MotoJitsu you welcome. love your content provide a lot of information I learned a lot really especially about body position & throttle control. 👍🏼 keep up.
I wish I had seen this a few months ago. I've been using a 2x4 to prop my Vulcan 650 up holding it with my leg then push the stand down

Great video, what brand stands are those. Thanks in advance.
Love your videos very informative would those stands hold up street glide special 2017 harley
The stand itself might support the weight (check on the Pitbull site), but you probably would not be able to lift the bike upright via the tail and almost certainly would not be able to pivot the stand down (lifting the bike off the ground). I think the better way is to get a specially made hydraulic lift on rollers, like the one from J&S Jacks. The good ones, like that, have arms that slant down slightly so you can lift the bike from its resting position rather than the cheaper lifts that require balancing the bike first. The cheap ones are also sketchy and feel like they can twist or fail.
thanks! I never tried

people also tie a velcro strap around the front wheel break so that the front wheel wont roll and the strap keeps it as if you are pressing on the breaks in the front.

When you have used an abba stand you will never want to mess around with paddock stands again. This video reminds me of all this hassle
I don't think it's a hassle.
@@MotoJitsu try an abba stand and you probably will
@@MotoJitsu That's a myopic viewpoint!
yeah, I'm not going to go buy a new stand when I already have 2 that work lol
@@martinfleming7001 takes me 15 seconds to put the bike on a paddock stand, how is that a hassle?
After watching this balancing act, I think I'm happy just using my floor jack as I've been. I lift the front or back as well that way 😋
:)
I always feel more comfortable pushing from the stand side
whatever works for you.
On the peg fork, shouldn't the longer fork leg be under the peg initially on that brand? Something that I recommend after doing this a lot is too lock the steering straight centered forward. Just a matter of time before the steering flops to one side at the wrong time, been there. It also helps stabilize while working on it. You can make some sort of bracket or simply use rope or tie down strap tying the handlebar ends to somewhere on the frame.
whatever works for you :)
I imagine that you do, but I hope you fall asleep at night content in the knowledge that what you do keeps a lot of people from hurting (or killing) themselves. Many thanks!
Thanks good tips👍🏻💪🏻👍🏻
thanks

non stops helmets hair just cut it all off lol i’m with you man keep the stash
What he’s referring to as the frame is called the swingarm.
glad you pointed that out.
Awesome! Not sure about the mustache though ;)
This is all good to know as a car driver as well; never know when it's going to come in handy
how so?
@@MotoJitsu someone coulbe be incapacitated but just need their bike stood up lol
what to use for a shaft drive bike? like a moto guzzi v7. Thank you
As the floor where I work is really not smooth, the bike tends to come backward to the stand, instead of the stand moving forward when lifting the bike.
So I use a rubber band to lock the front brake and prevent the bike from moving at all.
Just the other day i did this alone for the first time but my bike has the self-closing stand. A bit more of a hustle when putting it down but nothing too difficult
:)
Thank you Greg.
Great lesson. Anyway, shouldn't the forks on your motorcycle stand be placed other way around? Swap the right fork with the left, so that the longer forks part will be in the front. 😉
thanks

Hi Greg.
Great vid as always.
I see you have Pitbull stands.
It's ashame I can't get them in Australia. But it looks like you need some dynamoto stands for your bikes. Have you heard or aware of these stands ?
Have a look at their products maybe you could be an ambassador to the American market? Not sure if they are in USA yet?
Anyway check them out. ✌️
Search Anderson stands, best stands you can get in Australia
I don't need any other stands but whatever works for you :)
Would the process be the same for a scooter. Guessing it might be. Thanks for the info.
Never tried
Every biker should begin by learning how to handle the bike off. That’s step one. Nice video I do it the same way.
:)
"Clean the chain, do whatever. Everythings all good" - Legend
To help get my bike on a rear stand,, I put a 2x4 under the kick stand to "stand" the bike up more.
sure, whatever works for you.
The 2x4 under the kick stand thing makes raising on a rear paddock easy (with bobbins anyway - not tried a bike without). Much less chance of dropping it.
Someone can put the front one too, it is good if have to keep the motorbike in garage for winter season (if too cold to ride) and want to keep your tyre in good shape
:) yup

@Massimiliano Truzzi just make sure the rear is done first before putting the front up. When taking both off the front comes down first, then the rear.
Dude I’m watching random videos of your channel and you look different in literally every video. Short hair, long hair, in between, bold, mustache. Wondering how you will look in the next video 😂
That garage is bigger than my house .. 3 bikes, a smith machine and room for a dance !
I refer to the playlists on this channel all the time, to get new tips and keep up the knowledge that I have. One question: what jack or work stand do your recommend? I have a small bike, and just for working on my own bike, so not going to use it on a daily basis.
As in a rear stand like the one in this video?
@@MotoJitsu Maybe a center stand? which could allow working on front and rear wheels, brakes, etc.
I don’t know of any bikes that have center stands unless it’s a dirt bike or the bike comes with it
@@MotoJitsu Guess I was thinking of something like this: Strongway 1000-Lb. Motorcycle Lift/Utility Vehicle Lift
I never had a lift so I don’t know of any brands or anything but you can message my mechanic who would. “Motorcycle Mecha” on Instagram
What model of Pitbull stand do you use for your CRF300L Rally?
Need to store my yam v star 1100 in my shed. Slightly uneven ground with 3/4 plywood down.Would like to use a stand for the rear and the front to prevent flat spots in the tires come spring in Mass. Right now its on the kick stand. Is there a way to do this or a better suggestion? TY
Block of woood under the sidestand is the key....before stand insert and push down.
I own a icebear trike, any ideas on how to jack up, so i can clean chain easily.
Does those stand work for bigger bike like a bagger? Would be great to do this on my indian challenger.
Never tried it
Easy does it👍
yes!

Can you sit on the bike after applying the rear stand so you can change gears while the bike is running etc or would you need a different type of stand for that use???
On my sports bike when lowering the bike I make sure the kick stand is down and did u know if u turn ur handlebars to the left before lowering the bike will naturally start leaning into the kick stand when lowering the bike so u don't have to push or be scared of it falling the wrong direction
:) whatever works
Can I ask then would you only use this paddock stand if you do not have a center stand , and assuming you have a center stand and want to work on your front wheel you would then just get a front paddock stand to lift the front wheel up .Or would the original center stand not work in this case and you would need two paddock stands in order to work on the front end .Sorry if this is no clear but I hope ya get what I mean . Cheers : )
If I had a bike with a center stand, I wouldn't use this on it. I never tried this type of stand on the front.
