GRAND PITSTOP Motorcycle Maintenance Stand, Portable & Compact Lift Stand Moto Jack, Adjustable Height for Chain Cleaning and Lubrication Easy to use

After altering an R and G single sided stand with rotacaster wheels for my ducati to fit in a tight space I thought I would look round for a ready made one to save quite a lot of work and time for my new Daytina 675r with bobbins. The Australian built Dynamoto stand is an excellent option but the price is just not justifiable here in the uk. I also looked at the new 360 degree one from Oxford products which was on the list as a possible well constructed option but came across the Grand Pitstop Option by chance and it looked well constructed and supplied by amazon so if it was rubbish i could send it back. It arrived today and I am super impressed by the build quality ease of putting it together and the finish. Less than half the price of some of the other less well built options I researched. I have to give it 5 stars because for the price point and build I think it deserves it - there are a few tweaks and options that would in my opinion make it a market leader - 1. with the current castor set up it works fine on very flat even ground - I think a slight increase in castor size it would be more beneficial for those with rougher concrete floor garages could be an option when purchasing 2. There is still slight twist in the uprights and although bolted together with a single m8 bolt each side and sturdy I think there could be a better way of really making this with no twist at all - I assume its bolted rather than one piece for packaging and shipping purposes - still loads better than my R and G elevation stand which has loads of twist due to plastic inserts 3. a nice inexpensive touch on some other models is some rubber protectors on the hooks save damaging the paintwork whilst getting it on the stand - I've made my own from heavy duty shrink wrap In summary for £75 quid a bargain for a sturdy stand and even if you had to buy slightly bigger castors and fit them it would still work out cheaper than some other offerings.

This paddock stand is quality and well worth the money,easy to put together and has width adjustment to suit most bikes,Used the L brackets on my BMW F750GS as there is no where to fit bobbins,with the width set,offer the stand up to the swing arm on the lower side stand side,start to take the weight,which is easily done with one hand at the same time push the bike upright,push down and that’s it,it is genuinely easy to do,lifts the rear wheel enough to spin it,and not too high to make the bike unstable,to take off,just lift the stand from the floor and keep hold of it as the wheel is lowered and just make sure the bike goes onto the side stand,best bet is to leave it down,so you don’t forget about putting it down,and that’s it,thoroughly recommend this stand,as it seems robust and well made,and should last the lifetime of your bike easily.

Good to have and does do what it says but I think the way it holds up under the bike could be better as the lip is very small and I don’t think I’d trust it for taking the whole wheel off, which is a shame as that was the intention if needed in an emergency. Plus side is that it packs small and not too heavy for having on trips

Front wheel is more difficult than the rear. I’ve used this for a few years now and it’s a great bit of kit. Turn the wheel the right way or it comes off but apart from that I find it extremely useful for cleaning and oiling. A lot quicker and less hassle than getting the paddock stand out. Easy to store. That said, a paddock stand is so useful for so many other things. I use this a lot and wouldn’t be without it.

I took a punt buying this roller device to allow me to clean and lube my motorbike's chain. It was cheaper than a paddock stand obviously, but I thought I would give it a go. The rubber pad under the rollers is substantial and I never had an issue with it slipping when rolling the bike's back wheel on to the rollers. I did have to give it a few goes initially to line the wheel up perfectly, since if it is sat at any angle other then square-on, when you feed the rear wheel to clean the chain the wheel works its way to the edge of the rollers! Not good. When you do perfect the alignment, you still have to feed the wheel (and seemingly much of the bikes weight) over the rollers. In hindsight, this was always going to be a challenge, but whilst the rollers are smooth, they are not frictionless obviously and still have to take the rear-end wait! After a few attempts I gave in and bought a paddock stand for my bike - the bike's rear end is fully supported leaving you to concentrate on actually cleaning the chain.

Could be my bike is too light for this to work well but it either just pushes the bike to one side, doesn't raise it enough for the tue to clear the floor or is at an angle that's very hard to push locked. The rubber grip provided doesn't work well on tarmac or the bottom of the swing arm, so while it's undoubtedly well made, it just doesn't work.

Well made and easy to use. Used on a Yamaha Tenere.
