bike stand
I have a 90xt 600. I was wondering what kind of stand you use or lift to work on your bike. I have a lift that I use on my street bike but that will not work cause the frame is to small. If you can show pics that would help too. Thanks

I used to use a massive block of wood (oak). Just the right size but it was a pain trying to lug the bike on and off. Decided to invest in the bike lift before i started to walk funny!

I have a lift like that for my street bike but the span for the lift is to far apart and does not fit under the bike frame. What are the meaurements for the lift part , maybe I can put wood under the frame to the lift and make it work thanks. I can make a frame of some sort to lift the bike.

864 x 396 x 315 mm total measure of lift. Have same bike as you and lift it with no modification, its a little bit on the edge in the front but its ok with straps from lift around frame/seat.

Put it on side stand, lean it towards you.
Reach over and slide the axle stand underneath far side.
Lift bike on axle stand. Slide in the other from your side.
