"If you use the front stand on the RS place a board under the centerstand to make sure the rear tire does not touch the floor. Set the preload to one rider."
The last time I changed tires (while the bike was still on the front end stand with both wheels off) my oldest son says "Whoa Dad, what does it sound like with the muffler off?" Being the obliging dad that I am, I fired it up for a few seconds. It wasn't 'til later, when I began to install the rear wheel, that I realized the preload had locked itself into the new unloaded position. A one man job turned into two as I called my son back to the garage to lower the front enough to mount the rear wheel again.
Yes, I like to create my own problems
It's easy to get yourself in trouble
When I first got the front stands I would remove the back wheel first, then the front.
Install in the opposite order.
Get that order wrong and you have a problem. Don't ask me how I know
Now I always put a board under the centersand so the order doesn't matter.
