If someone has a front stand that lifts from the steering stem, and not from the front axle, that I could borrow, I would really appreciate it. Would just need it for a couple of hours or so. Have to check my front forks. Thanks!
You should indicate what bike you have - each bike manufacturer uses a different stem size.
I have a 2010 250, the stem pin you need iirc is 18mm. Watch when you lift it, the top of the stand may contact the bottom of the fairing around the headlight.
