Pitbull front stand

[triplemike]

Anyone know if I can safely lift just the front end of my 95 Speed Triple with my Pitbull front stand ? I normally lift both ends. I need to mount a new front tire and would like to be able to lift just the front but i certainly don't want the bike to take a flop. :???:

Why not take the extra 10 seconds and lift the rear 1st? I wouldn't recommend it, it's not worth the risk. :hammer:

Don't do it! It will go over. You gotta use the rear stand .

Pit Bull expressly says that you should NEVER lift the front of the bike without the rear stand in place...

Don't do it!

Im sorry but this is by far one of the dumbest questions I have ever seen on any forum.

Whether or not it's a dumb question, there is really no need to offer up such a rude remark. Although you may have a great deal of knowledge about lifting bikes, I'm relatively sure there are areas in which you have little knowledge, and would ask "dumb" questions yourself.

Sorry if this is an over-reaction,

How's the saying go. There are no stupid questions. Just stupid answers! :hammer:

NO that is an extremely stupid question, you dont have to have any knowledge just common sense.

What really made it stupid for me is that he states "I normaly lift both ends"

So what this translated to me is...I dont have a rear stand and I dont want to spend the money for two stands can I just buy the front stand.

Really is triplemike that lazy that he only wants to use his front stand.

the saying goes "There's no such thing as a stupid question. "but this time I have made an exception :-D null
