Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

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.

cheers con rod ..........

Or piece of 9mm bar through loops at front of engine and an axle dtsnd either side or blocks of wood. Dont need rear paddock stsnd for this.
