RT125 Front stand

Postby djsbriscoe » Wed Mar 31, 2010 5:56 am

Hi,
I need to lift the front wheel and forks off the ground so I can change the fork oil and check the speedo drive on my RT125.
Can anyone recommend a compact fork yoke stand so that I can lift the front of the bike?
I have a front and rear paddock stand but the front stand lifts using the fork legs. I do not have access to a garage so I can't suspend the bike using a hoist.
Thanks.

David.

hi there

i cant recommend a stand however, when i changed the oil on my rt i removed the exhaust then sat the bike on top of a toolbox with a few bits of wood. it did the job a treat


all the best
