problem with this stand is it is to tall to fit under the xt so you still have to lift the bike on ,go to makro they are selling scissor bike lifts for �39.99 +vat and is ideal for servicing the bike as it lifts both wheels of the floor at the same time

If you use a scissor-stand type lift, what do you lift against on the bike - the exhaust pipes under the engine? Are they strong enough to take 180kg?

Where I live most of the year there is no-one to help so I use yachting rope through a tie-down over the handle bars fixed to wall hooks/tree to keep the bike upright when I remove wheels etc.

I was just about to ask the paddock stand question from the results here it does not seem like anybody uses them. I have seem few and though it would be a better way to work on the bike.
My sond has the MX push up stand for his bike and I cannot get it under the XT but it would be on the bash plate, just where you would want to get into the Sump plug.... For around �40 you can get a pair of paddock stands but I also would like to know if anyone has used them or had any bad news....  let us know

Colin, I use regular paddock stands. I have been using these from Italian firm Bike Lift who make proper quality stands. No problems so far

Hi all, unsure if I'm doing this right (its my first time on here) I'm looking for a paddock stand (front and rear) for my 06 XT660r, I cannot view any of the photos on any of these links, did anyone find any stands that work well??
