Do you use a jack or stand to store your bike?

[Dale124]

Hi all. I was just curious to know if most people here use a jack or stand when storing their bike for winter, or do you just let it sit on the wheels?

Thanks,

Dale.

I do for the winter also helps in the spring because as long as it is up in the air change the fluids also.

Get the Carbon One lift adapter and let it sit on that ... is what I did with my '06.

Rick do you still have the Carbon One and do you still use it on the wing?

I thought this one from J & S Jacks looked cool. Hopefully the video link works. I'm not sure how to embed the YouTube video in this window from my iPad.

I have the same issue, however I like those stands that you can roll around your garage to get the bike out of the way more.

All of my bikes that get stored for the Winter, or are placed in my mini-museum are all placed on either the OEM centerstand, or on a bike lift, so that very little weight gets put on the tires, or suspension while in storage.

I store mine on the center stand. Can I add to the question? Do you change your fluids in the fall or the spring? I like to change mine in the fall, however, someone (me) was too busy to do it in the fall, so I am in the process of doing it now!

Carbon One adapter with legs. Puts it at a good height to do "winter work" on it, no jack handle to walk around. Nice and stable !

Nope. sorry... gave it to the guy who bought my '06. Don't think it would work on the Wing .... but the centre stand does

Get the carbon one stand works great, we had a 7.7 earthquake this winter shook us pretty good:shock3:. Checked on the R.S.T.D and it was sill standing tall.
