[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 20542, member: 586"] Trev, you failed to mention the bike has to be on the rear stand first; obvious but it still needs to be stated. After placing the bike on the rear stand I drop the front stand and then, very carefully I bring the bike forward so the rear stand is vertical. The bike is now eased back with the front stand "blocked" by your foot directly behind it. The bike will now be standing off both wheels and depending on how well you have performed the manoeuvre you may want to give the front legs a whack to make sure they all at their full extent. Loosen all nuts and bolts on the wheel before raising the bike as a precaution and make sure the ground is hard and flat. This operation is less hernia inducing than Trev's. Another expedient is to use a small jack under the front of the crankcase (bike on rear stand), raise and drop the front stand then lower the jack just so the bike is sitting on all points (or course with the jack you hardly need to use the front stands at all.
