Swingarm removal stand

[celticBandit]

Hey guys, Just looking for suggestions as to how to jack the bike up for swingarm removal. I can put a trolley jack under the fairing bracket but it isn;t very steady.

Also gonna strap it to the rafters with a truck cargo strap.
But ideally I need two points near the swingarm pivot location that I can put axle stands under, but the exhaust is nin the way there.

Any suggestions????

will this work? Redline Sport Bike Motorcycle Center Stand

The first time, I put mine up on stands front and rear, then used straps from the rafters to the subframe to hold it up. The next two times, I used a Baxley sport chock in the front and a jack under the belly wing bracket. That was three times as stable as using the straps to the ceiling

That won't work, since it goes through the swingarm pivot bolt

Hang it from the ceiling, its the only way I know to do it.

If it's a Gen 1, you could install a centerstand. Not too expensive, and very convenient.

Suzuki part number is 42100-24821. It's discontinued but still available discounted at many places. I even found it on ebay for both US and UK sites.

Funny, going through my shed the other day. I found a center stand new in package. $115 shipped if anyone is interested. Only thing is that a mouse kinda chewed through some of the instructions.

Flip your pegs over and you should be able to put it up on jackstands. I use the strap over the rafters method, but if I has to do it again I will use the footpegs

OK, I got it sorted. First I jacked it up using a trolley jack under the rear belly pan bracket, removed the sidestand and then put axle stands under the frame. A strap up to the rafters just incase it gets unstable. Thanks for the help guys.
