My one bugbear with the tiger

I love my 885i but there's one issue.

Lifting the rear wheel for servicing.

I have fitted a centre stand. This is not that stable, causes me worry.

Paddock stands on the swing arm are unstable and doesn't lift high enough for the wheel to clear the ground, no place to add bobbins either.

Abba stand, does not work on swing arm pivot.

So how do you do it? It's more awkward than with my other bikes!

I find the same on my 955i with the paddock stand  but the centre stand works fine.
No matter how smart you are you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid.
