Product Information

Full details

The BikeTek Alloy Motorcycle Pin-Style Front Paddock Stand is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts who perform their own maintenance. Its key benefit is providing a stable, lightweight, and durable platform for front-end work, significantly easier to use than standard steel stands. A crucial caveat is that this front stand *must* be used in conjunction with a rear stand for complete bike stability during use.

FAQs

Do I need a rear stand if I have this front stand?

Yes, absolutely. A front paddock stand alone does not provide full stability. It must be used in conjunction with a rear paddock stand to ensure the motorcycle remains safely upright.

What types of motorcycles is this stand compatible with?

The stand is designed for a wide range of motorcycles, especially those with standard fork configurations, thanks to its interchangeable pin system. It's essential to check if the included pins match your specific model.

How do I clean the aluminium stand?

Wipe the stand with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher grime. Dry thoroughly afterwards and avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this stand suitable for long-term storage?

Yes, the durable aluminium construction and corrosion resistance make it suitable for long-term storage, provided it is kept in a dry environment.

Can I use this stand for wheel removal?

Yes, this stand is specifically designed to lift the front of the motorcycle, allowing for front wheel removal and related maintenance.

How much weight can this stand support?

While specific weight limits are not provided, the stand is built with robust, oversized aluminium tubing designed for motorcycle use. Always ensure your motorcycle's weight is within typical limits for this type of equipment.

Troubleshooting

Stand feels unstable when lifting bike

Ensure you are using the correct size front fork pins. Double-check that the stand is positioned directly in front of the wheel and that the bike is rolled on evenly. Confirm a rear stand is also in use for overall bike stability.

Difficulty attaching fork pins

Ensure the correct pin size is selected for your motorcycle model. Clean any debris from the fork lowers and the pin itself. If resistance is still high, consult your motorcycle's manual or a professional.

Stand won't lift the bike completely

Verify the stand is fully engaged with the fork lowers. Ensure you are applying steady upward pressure. Check that no other obstructions are preventing the lift.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assemble the stand by ensuring all parts are securely fitted. Select the appropriate front fork pin adapter for your specific motorcycle model. Position the stand directly in front of the front wheel. Slowly roll the motorcycle forward onto the stand, ensuring the fork pins align with the bottom of the fork legs. Once aligned, lift the stand handles to elevate the front of the motorcycle. Crucially, always use in conjunction with a rear paddock stand for maximum stability.

Compatibility: This stand is designed to be compatible with a wide range of motorcycle models thanks to its interchangeable front fork pin system. Verify that the included pin sizes are suitable for your motorcycle's fork lowers.

Care: Clean the stand with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the aluminium finish. Store in a dry place to prevent potential corrosion over time. Periodically check pins and the stand's structure for any signs of wear or damage.
