You need a sportbike lift that picks the bike up by the swingarm.

OK so my question isn't about how to remove the wheel, but rather how to get and hold bike off the ground to do the job. A Harley guy at a shop said because of the shock location, he can't raise the bike with a jack. So for you DIY guys how do yall get this done? 02 x1. Thx

dont know about an x1 but on my xb12 I used those ratchet straps and hooked on to a car lift that I had raise up. you only need to get it a few inches of the ground.
I ran a strap in the front in between the triple tree an forks and the other in the rear through the seat rails I believe.
Me too.
He is doing the rear. You need a sport bike rear stand. There are some that just go under the swingarm like this one.
Or if you have spools you can get a spool stand.
Looking at this pic you should be good with just a swingarm stand. They have cheap ones at Harbor Freight which is where the first one is from and I use it on my XB all the time.
Hope this helps.
Awesome info you all. I will hit my harbor freight friday and look.
I still managed to so it with out a swing arm stand just saying..
Stamen. I don't have a cherry picker.;);););) Now as for the ladder photo, I could do that. I have a gorilla ladder and straps.
