btw...I've tried to get the bike onto the paddock stand.
How the heck do you get the swingarm into both cups, while rocking the bike onto the stand, while making sure it doesn't fall over?!!!

You ignored my advice on the best one to buy

Could be tempted, need to get the bike serviced first - how early are you thinking and where abouts are you?

you should be able to balance the bike upright anyway. All you need to do, is place strand underneath the swingarm(s), bobbins etc, take up the slack and then just push down on the stand in one swift movement.

On a separate note, whats the best stuff to remove oil/grease caked on the swingarm and chain guard, etc?
