pedropat Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I don't think you could change your rear tire with those spools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I don't think you could change your rear tire with those spools.No that's what I thought, cant see the point of a stand if you cant get the wheel out, you can get a main/centrer stand in the UK and a thing called a abba super bike stand that are supposed to be good but not tried any of them. http://shop.sw-motech.com/cgi-bin/cosmoshop/lshop.cgi?action=showdetail&wkid=142330230921253&ls=en&nc=1423302362-22285&rubnum=products.wartung.hauptstaender&artnum=HPS.06.506.10000/B&id=1&gesamt_zeilen=Tshowrub--products.wartung.hauptstaender&typid=167021448 http://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=superbike-stand&pid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather not.. i'm think the OES spools is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypnotik Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What is the point of having spools if you can't use them to adjust the chain or take off the rear wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rowdy Posted February 10, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 10, 2015 What is the point of having spools if you can't use them to adjust the chain or take off the rear wheel?I think you can still adjust the chain, just not take the rear wheel off. It is also handy for lubing the chain. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitegas Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 No, you can't adjust the chain with the rear axle spools on. You need to remove them. I haven't reinstalled my OES spool sliders after adjusting my chain. Was considering selling them since there is no need for them on my bike, but at 35 bucks new, I won't even bother. That said, in the grand scheme of things, having to remove the spool sliders when you take the rear wheel off or adjust the chain is neither here nor there. Really. It isn't a big deal. It is 1-2 minutes of extra work which pales in comparison with having to actually remove the tire. There are bigger fish to fry than complain about those 2 minutes. And if you're the type that does everything yourself for the bike, you too will realize that it isn't a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of these spools is to be used in conjunction with a rear stand correct? I'm not worried about the extra 2 minutes, I'm worried about not being able to use the stand. If the only thing these spools are good for is lubing the chain then why even bother? You don't even need a stand to lube the chain. My only concern is getting the rear wheel off the ground to be able to perform maintenance on the bike; sprockets, chain, remove wheel, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my rear stand doesn't use spools so I was thinking from my own personal viewpoint. I completely understand what you guys are saying now. My mistake. Didn't occur to me until now how ridiculous rear axle spools are. Looks like you can only use them for some of the jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, the chain can not be adjusted when the spools are on. I still think they would come in handy for chain lube, but they are sliders too (although I'm not sure if they would be the contact point in a slide), so... It's a trade off. I lube my chain much more than adjust it, or change the rear tire, and for lubing alone, without a center-stand, it seems worth it. Taking them off and putting them back on is 2 minutes of work.

Premium Member rowdy Posted February 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just found out SW Motech makes a centerstand for our bikes. That seems like the best all around solution. Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCFieldMP Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Pit Bull Standard Rear Stand The Pit Bull Standard Rear Stand lifts non-spool equipped bikes by supporting the swingarm with rubber pads. It is width adjustable to fit virtually all sport bikes. Padded stands aren't as secure, but they beat no stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 There are rear "spools" that are available allowing rear wheel removal and chain adjustment. This version is right off the Yamaha OEM euro accessory catalog.http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/eu/products/motorcycles/mt/mt-07.aspx?view=accessories&partcode=1WS-F5389-00-00&year=2015 I have these and they are premium quality. The chain adjustment mechanism alone is worth it. For N. Americans they are available through euro ebayers as they are not in our dealers catalogs. I went with the Twisted Throttle SW Motech center stand once available which I have posted another thread. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westgl Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Has anyone used the HF rear wheel roller, for chain Cleaning/Lubing it allows you to be able to roll the rear wheel for cleaning chain and adjusting chain tension. Sale on them now $25.00http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-wheel-cleaning-stand-98800.html I use a motorcycle lift/jack, when i need to change a rear tire/remove a wheel, on a bike that does not have a centerstand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted February 12, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted February 12, 2015 Why not just buy a paddock stand instead? It would be more useful and cost about the same. I got mine on sale at HF and have been happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
