I think everyone should at least know how to oil change their bike. I watched youtube videos and mechanics do it and seems simple enough, so i want to get my hands dirty and who doesn't love saving couple of bucks.

So first things first is i need a rear stand, i believe i would need the hook type and get sockets. Any idea where i can get a decent one around 20-30$?

Why do you need a rear stand for an oil change? You have to lean the bike on the kickstand to get all the oil out anyway?

Re: Rear stand for 250ninja

the ones from kapsco are cheap, but remember they are cheap not "economical"

they are good for your first set, just dont expect them to be like the high quality ones. But they WILL WORK for a 250 to learn how do service your own bike. Good luck!

sry i meant liftstand, dont know what i was thinking

 

[Aznkid2000]

are you guys serious? 100$+ for both front and back?

 

[Deleted member 40275]

uh half decent stands cost $100-$200 bucks - that's ONE stand. Are you seriously hoping to get a center stand for $20? If you do ever find one please let me know.

What is a lift stand?

Front stand, rear stand you can get for around $100.

A bike lift (for dirt bike) will not work on a ninja 250.

Nice! This guy has bought the $30 venom stands in bulk and is selling them at $100. I should definitely jump on this bandwagon and make an easy $300 bucks!

The best part about the older 250's (zzr250/ex250) is that it came with a built in centre stand.
Dunno what you mean by a lift stand maybe this? http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brow...aster+Motorcycle+Jack,+1500+lbs.jsp?locale=en
That's the cheapest I've seen most go for +$200

You got ripped off buddy, here's a set for $70:

I've been using the same stands in the link for 3 years and no problems as of yet.

On sale at CT $90 http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brow...s/PRD~0279360P/Sport+Bike+Stand.jsp?locale=en although I swear I've seen cheaper for a set at Royal. If you're just doing an oil change and on a 250 just get the cheapest stand. No need to invest in an expensive one....I mean how heavy is a 250 anyways?

I've been using mine for 3 years now and no issues.
I've stored my bike on them all winter and use them for the small jobs that I can do.

If you feel better about spending $200+ on a Pitbull then by all means, go for it!

 

[Aznkid2000]

its actually pretty light, since the 250 didn't have spoons

Where are you located?

Re: Rear stand for 250ninja

For a oil change you don't even need a stand. Drain the oil into the pan, and sit the bike up right to get the last bit of oil out. Put it back together, when you refill the oil. Just get a friend to check the level through the oil window.
