I am a
when it comes to this question. I was wondering what the point of having the wheel and tire stands for our bikes? What are their functions? Please don't burn me, I just want to know.
This Might Be Very NEWBIE Of Me But....

To be able to perform maintenance on the bike.
Taking off wheels, cleaning them easier.

Helpful also when it comes time to mod the bike.
the front and rear stand are used for several purposes. they can be used to store the bike up off the ground so u wont get a flat spot in your tire from sitting for a long period of time. they are also used when working on the bike. they allow the bike to sit upright and get it off the groung for a more stable way to do the work. think about it, how easy would it be to change a tire on a 500 pound bike when it is still on the ground??
the stands are in my opinion a must have if u plan on doing all your own work and are great for when it comes time to store your scoot. i know we have redline stands as a board sponser so u may want to contact him and get ya a set. they are well worth the money since they save u so much time and headaches. hope this helped!!!
remember, the only dumb questions are the ones that arent asked. but do expect some lightweight (harmless) flaming...... thats just how we roll........

thanks guys. The reason I ask is that i see alot of people that post pics of their bikes with them on the stands (not being maintenanced). Thanks all!
Having the bike on the stand makes cleaning the wheels sooooo much easier. And adding lube to the chain is a snap when on a stand! Minumum of a rear stand is what you should invest in!
Big Ed & KOK-LOL, don't flame here as I swear I have lubed my chain!!!

wheels, the bike is more upright and stable for storage, it takes up less space while on the stands.

If you start working on the bike? well, everyone does, cuz stealership charges too much for even maintenance...oil changes and etc.
plus it is very useful tool I would say....when you clean the bike, you need one...when you work on the bike, you need one...every time you doing something...you need one...
