lifting points ?

Post by spanner » Sun Sep 09, 2012 2:15 pm

hi all
i want to lift my trx up so i can access the front wheel forks ect as i have a bit of a head shake when i slow down, but not sure how to do it,
or where to jack her up from. looks like its a choice between an abbus center stand or exhaust,s off and maybe
jack up from the engine some where :? , any tips or advice please.

Paddock stand at the rear and a jack and a price of wood under the header pipes, they are well strong enough to take the weight.

I have done this many many times.
