Thread: Noise pollution

    You can buy props that you fit on the swing arm that combined with the side stand will get the rear wheel off the ground for chain lube or wheel removal.Depending on where your stand is located,one wheel off is ok.As far as WoFs and bikes are concerned - you either trust me or you don't...if you don't,then go somewhere else,I don't care about your anal obsesions with your bike....

    Yeah, seen a bloke with a zx6r balance the whole bike on the side stand so he could turn it 180 degrees. What ever dude, your money.
    There is no try. Do, or do not do.

    Hydraulics are the answer

    I use a hydraulic bike lift for my Wof's.

    As for the noise, had a Harley in the other day with dam near straight through pipes, didnt sound too loud to me, mind you being nearly deaf in one ear helps.

    I've got a centre stand so its not an issue with me. Anyone wants to make an issue with this. Refuse and ring the media.
    We pay enough for WOF's as it is. LTNZ authorizes the station's testing authority. The least that they could do is to ensure that the appropiate equipment is there to do so.

    The media at times gets abit of a slagging but make them work for you. Go and see your MP while you're at it.

    PS The noise thing is going to happen. Thank the boy races for this.

    What would happen if one had neither side nor centre stand? Neither is a legal requirement, and I've owned bikes that had neither (nor a rear wheel stand either - they were good!). They can hardly refuse to test it.
