Front Stand

I removed the plastic wiring cover on the top of the left fork to avoid messing up the wire. When doing tire changes, I remove the rear before jacking the front to insure stability and get the jack as far forward as possible. I remove brake calipers, and loosen the axle before jacking. Removing the front fender allows you to jack the front just enough to roll the front wheel out. Makes installation easier too.

I set the suspension to one rider and place a piece of 7/8" plywood under the centerstand before raising the front wheel.
This lets me raise the front without the rear tire touching the floor.
Before I figured this out I removed the rear tire first and then used a scissor jack to raise the front.
