I've bought the tires (need to get the proper tools to remove the axles on my Yamaha), but how do you "hold the bike up" when you don't have a center stand?? Is it just a matter of jacking a blocking, or is there some easy way of doing it without going with a bike stand??

I'm just used to having a center stand and it's not an issue...

Thanks for your help!!

You'll probably need to get a pair of stands (front and rear).

I'm not sure if standard sport bike stands will work with the MT 01. You'll have to look into it.

Your frame wraps under the engine so you'll be able to jack and block without too much getting in the way. You should definitely attach a strap to a ceiling joist on the end you want to take the wheel off so that it doesn't come back down.

I'll come up with something...I need to get the tires done either tonight or during the day tomorrow...I really just need to order the center stand from SW Motec and be done with it...but that will take too long to get here...
