Changing Front Tire - PLEASE HELP
This is embarrasing b/c i consider myself a grease monkey...i took my entire bike apart, put it back together, made it shine, and made it just freakin cool again.
One problem! How do i change the front tire on the bike?
I have 4 different jack stands and after about 1.5hrs of trying, i gave up as i knew i had to be doing something wrong.
I also have race stands, but i can't see how to remove the tire b/c the stand blocks the front axle.
The only way i could see doing it is by installing a winch from a cross beam and literally lifting the front of the bike up. If i do it that, what part of the bike is strong/safe to lift from?
Does anybody have any ideas how to do this?
Is the exhaust running underneath my GSXR 600 strng enough?
Again...i feel dumb, it should be simple!!
