I don't want to fit a stand. How do you all raise your rear wheels???

Motorcycle Jack.

Dunno what sort of stores you have across the pond, I bought mine at sears for under $100 USD, what's that work out to, like 50-60 pounds sterling?

It works great for cleaning and all sorts of stuff!

I strap my bike in between the gateposts in my front yard, then jack up the back with a scissor lift. Ghetto, but it works.

I do it two different ways.

1. I have a center jack and lift.

2. I do a stoppie!

Small hydraulic car jack under the right side centerstand lug while bike is on sidestand. The small screw type scissor jack from your car will do just as good.

Same over here, does the trick perfectly and is cheap

Many thanks chaps. This no cost jack option looks the way to go. I will cable tie the front brake on to prevent the bike rolling forward.

I bought one of these for 800 Swedish, 50-60 English, apart from getting both wheels of the ground at the same time it makes cleaning the bike a lot easier as you can jack it up to eye level while sitting on a stool

Whoops just had to edit..................that's not my bike :-D
