Turning a bike in it's own length ?

[MikeH]

I've seen it done with a centre stand but I don't have one I've tried but struggle like F'k with the weight and backing it out of the garage is a right pain, downhill, gravel, sand shit etc etc.

Is it poss on a side stand ? HOW ?

Make sure the sidestand is well planted on a solid surface. Put your foot on the stand, grab the left clipon or handle bar and pull it towards you. This should lift the rear wheel off the ground, and at the same time by pulling the left side of the bar will turn the bike around.

hold the front brake, and spin up the rear, then slowly pull the back round.


Oni has the right idea

Make sure you put your foot behind the sidestand so that it doesn't fold up as you'd then end up on the floor with your bike on top of you hehehehe

Used to do it with the fizzer. Not a chance i'd even attempt it on the VFR 210kg dry

Rick...WTF I have seen you fling your VFR about...

[Dom_]

I could do it on my old rs50 and my cbr4, not about strength, more about technique.

I've never tried this with anything heavier than my old NSR. I'm sure the side stand can take the weight...but what if it doesn't.

Used to do it all the time with my NSR. Never tried it with my Gixxer though. Don't have the bottle!

I do it alot on my cbr6, thought i was going to drop it the first time but then i saw someone do it on a busa so it is all in the technique or alternatively back it into your garage ie don't park downhill

Those tail swingers are really good !
I use mine all the time getting the nc30 around from the back of the house.
They say to sit on the bike to use it,but i push the bike on to it and grab the foot peg and pull !
Take a bit of getting use to, esp if your not on the bike as it can slip sideways ... allmost happened !!

Worked a treat once I got the technique right the KLE is just short of 190Kg dry.
