Kern-Stabi Spindle Stand X4

Although I own two motorcycles, by the end of May this year the tires on both were worn out and needed replacement. As I mentioned before, for lifting the Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R I had previously acquired the EazyRizer Big Blue lift, while for the Kawasaki H2 SX SE the Kern-Stabi Spindle Stand X4 2049 front stand was sufficient. I won’t go into the procedure itself, you can find plenty of detailed videos on YouTube and other websites, but I wanted to share a few photos showing how the process looked in my case. The conclusion is straightforward: both lifts performed their intended functions effectively, allowing me to remove the wheels without much effort, take them to a tire shop for replacement and balancing, and then reinstall them on the motorcycles.

For riders in regions with long winters, like Munich, parking the bike for months is inevitable. Some might simply cover it and forget it, but for those of us who treat our motorcycles like mechanical art, that’s never enough. I prefer to lift my bike off the ground entirely, relieving both the suspension and the tires from constant pressure. Call it meticulous—because it is—but it’s the kind of care that pays off when spring comes.
