Great Motorcycle Stands To Get Your Bike Off The Ground

If your to-do list includes your tinkering away on your motorcycle in the garage, be sure you are ready with a motorcycle stand that allows you to tackle those chores easily. From oil changes to complete engine rebuilds, getting your bike off the ground is the best first step.

Who loves saving money? When you complete your own motorcycle maintenance at home, you may as well be taking money from your pocket and putting it right back into the other, as my soon-to-be father-in-law says. In addition to saving the dough, doing the simple maintenance tasks at home can help you feel more in tune with your motorcycle.

This inclusive package includes both the front and rear stands. This pair of Moto-D stands are perfect for the garage or the paddock and get your bike off the ground for tire changes, tire warmers, and more. The aluminum stands weigh only about 5 pounds each and roll on rubber inline wheels. Although swingarm spools are not included, these stands can fit any modern sportbike and have also been updated for 2019 to include adjustable width turn knobs. Free shipping and a 1-year limited warranty are also the added perks of this purchase.

Lifting your motorcycle/dirt bike is easy with the BikeMaster Easy Lift and Lower Motorcycle Jack Stand (max weight capacity is 330 pounds). Situate the nonslip platform 5mm below your bike's ground clearance and push the kick arm down. When it is extended (lowest extended height is 13 inches, highest extended height is 17-3/4 inches) you can lock it into place with the safety hold hook. The damper shock will ensure a smooth touchdown when you lower your bike. No more heart-sinking feeling when it goes into free-fall on a non-damped stand.

Up to 1,000 pounds of the big boys (Harley-Davidsons, Indians, BMWs, etc.) can be hoisted up to eye level with this hydraulic motorcycle lift from Titan Ramps. A front-wheel clamp with safety locking bar and rear drop panel, along with access ports for straps allow for added security. Will it fit in your garage? The ramp itself measures 8-1/2 inches–34 inches tall by 81-1/4 inches long by 21-3/4 inches wide. The approach ramp measures 25-3/4 inches by 21-3/4 inches by 1/8 inch thick.

Compacted down, this VivoHome Stand is only 9 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall, giving you plenty of storage options for when you aren't working on your motorcycle. When extended, the stand is 14.5 inches tall which is great for getting almost any motorcycle up for service. The veined rubber pad on top of the platform will prevent slippage and scratching. Although this solid carbon steel stand is small, it is mighty and can lift up to 1,100 pounds.
