Removing front wheel
I have a rear stand but not a front stand. How do I lift the front of my NC30 to get the front wheel off?

Re: Removing front wheel
Apart from the best way which is buying a front stand ( you can get them really cheap on eBay) I have used a scissor jack in the past, you know the ones you get in the back of a car.
1. put the bike on the rear stand.
2. position the jack under one of the folk legs then use the jack.
3. put a axle stand under the other fork leg when you have finished.
I have seen the bike jacked up on the front pipes aswell but i dont like that myself.
I take no responsibility for your bike falling over, as I did say buy a front stand.

put on paddock stand, use a car jack under the sump with a wee bit of wood and should do the job!

Re: Removing front wheel
Thanks for the quick reply guys, went with using the car jack on the forks and an axle stand on the other side. New tyres on now, can't wait to try them out :)
