    Does anyone have a "Paddock stand?" I have one for my 2011 GSXR 750 and have used it for a while. I cannot get the front tire to raise off the ground equally compared to the rear tire. The front tire sits lower making it impossible to change the front tire. I called the company I bought it from, will not mention him as they were of no help, all they said was "take your time with the adjustments.

    Any comments or suggestions.....please advise.

    I already have Pitbull stands. Having the paddock stand makes it a heck of a lot easier to maneuver your motorcycle in a garage or at the race track though.

    I have a Sumomoto stand for my Street Triple. It was the best thing ever for keeping that in a tight garage, plus when I swapped the front end including steering stem it was effortless, did the whole thing on a sidewalk.

    Anyhow, I found it easiest to adjust it with the bike completely off of the stand. Basically check bike, take it off, make a couple turns, repeat. If you're not having luck post a photo of the adjustment and I'll see if I can compare notes with mine.
