Product Information

Full details

The Bike-It Bobbin Hooks are designed for motorcycle owners who use rear paddock stands and want a more secure and damage-free way to lift their bikes. They replace the standard swing arm cup adaptors, allowing your paddock stand to lift the motorcycle by the bobbins, which is a key benefit for maintenance. A caveat is that this product requires compatible bobbins to be installed on your motorcycle's swingarm.

FAQs

Do I need to buy bobbins separately?

Yes, these bobbin hooks require your motorcycle to already be fitted with compatible swingarm bobbins. If your bike does not have bobbins, you will need to purchase and install them separately before using these hooks.

Are these compatible with paddock stands from other brands?

These hooks are specifically designed to replace the standard cup adaptors on BikeIt rear paddock stands. While they might fit other stands, compatibility is not guaranteed.

What size bobbins do I need?

The hooks are designed to work with standard motorcycle swingarm bobbins. The specific size is determined by your motorcycle manufacturer, not the hooks themselves. Please refer to your motorcycle's manual or specifications for the correct bobbin size.

How do I clean the bobbin hooks?

Clean the hooks with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt or grease, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.

Can these hooks be used for front paddock stands?

No, these bobbin hooks are designed exclusively for use with rear paddock stands that lift via the swingarm.

What is the material of the bobbin hooks?

The product information does not specify the exact material, but they are typically made from durable metal alloys suitable for workshop tools.

Troubleshooting

Paddock stand does not fit securely onto the hooks.

Ensure you are using genuine BikeIt paddock stand adaptors and that the hooks are correctly seated in their intended positions on the stand arms. Verify that the hooks are not bent or damaged.

Hooks do not engage properly with the swingarm bobbins.

Confirm that your motorcycle has the correct type and size of swingarm bobbins installed. Check that the bobbins are securely threaded into the swingarm and are not damaged. Ensure the hooks are aligned correctly with the bobbins before attempting to lift.

Motorcycle feels unstable when lifted.

Double-check that the paddock stand is on a stable, level surface. Ensure the hooks are fully engaged with the bobbins and that the bobbins themselves are in good condition. Avoid sudden movements when lifting or lowering.

  • Store the hooks in a dry place when not in use.
