Motorcycle Stands: Why You Need Them and How To Use Them

Whether you're a seasoned rider or just getting into motorcycles, a reliable motorcycle stand is one of the smartest investments you can make. Not only does it make maintenance a breeze, but it also keeps your bike safe during transport or storage. Today, we’ll break down exactly how to use a motorcycle stand and why you absolutely need one — featuring our heavy-duty Motorcycle Stand built for real-world riders.

Why You Need a Motorcycle Stand

1. Easy Maintenance and Oil Checks

Keeping your motorcycle upright and stable is crucial for simple maintenance tasks like oil checking, chain cleaning, and general inspections. Our stand holds your motorcycle securely in an upright position, allowing you easy access without the risk of tipping over. It’s a must-have tool for DIY maintenance at home.

2. Safe Transport

If you transport your motorcycle by truck or trailer, stability is key. Our stand features an auto-tighten cradle that locks your front wheel into position securely when you push the bike forward. Plus, two built-in eye bolts at the front provide extra anchor points, making it easy to tie down your motorcycle for safe, worry-free transport.

3. Secure Garage Storage

Parking your bike on a side stand for long periods can lead to slow tire deformation and stability issues. Using a proper stand keeps your bike upright, balanced, and ready to go whenever you are. It's also a safer option when working in tight garage spaces.

How To Use a Motorcycle Stand

Using our motorcycle stand is quick and easy:

1.     Position the Stand
Place the stand on a level surface where you want to secure the motorcycle.

2.     Push the Motorcycle Forward
Roll the front wheel into the cradle. As you push, the auto-tighten mechanism will naturally grip the wheel, keeping it snug and centered.

3.     Secure the Cradle
Once the wheel is fully inside, lock down the cradle with the attached hook for added security.

4.     Optional: Tie Down
For extra security during transport, use the two front eye bolts to attach additional tie-down straps.

Our stand fits tyre widths up to 190mm and tyre diameters between 15" and 21" (381mm-533mm).
Important Note: It’s not suitable for super-wide front wheels or custom low-profile fenders, so be sure to check your bike’s specifications before use.

Built Tough for Long-Term Use

Constructed from heavy-duty steel, our motorcycle stand is built for durability and long life. Whether you use it daily in your garage or just occasionally during transports, you can rely on its solid performance year after year.
