Normally, this would work if you have the spools, but you would not be able to adjust the chain and you would not be able to As the spools are centered in the axle nut, this lift allows them to be cradled. It is necessary to purchase an aftermarket spool adapter, or an accessory from Yamaha, to adjust the chain.
The spools must first be installed on the rear of the unit for it to fit
You will not be able to do it
In addition to swing arm spools and attachments, you must purchase swing arm spools. The process is easy to follow. Make sure there is some blue loctite on the piece.
Selected User Reviews For Vortex Race Rear Stand
It is a great stand for replacing the old one The original review was as follows A little difficult to assemble since it arrived without instructions. On the right rear of the stand, I am having a problem with the weld holding the nut in place. The weld was not welded correctly or well enough. I was unable to use the weld because it had broken apart. It makes me very sad to see this happen. In fact, I can't even use it unless I get a replacement or I have it welded for me by a shop. The following information is updated as of **(I forgot to update this review)** Seller took item back hours after I posted this review and has offered to refund or replace When they offered to replace the item, I took them up on their offer. I waited a while for it to get back in stock, but when it came, it was better than the first one. Based on the quality of the product and the value for money, I would give the stand 5 stars. However, I would rate it 4 stars due to the problem and issue I encountered with it initially. If you order this stand or the front stand, be sure to check the weld points on the frame to ensure they are done properly. You can either return them to the seller or contact the manufacturer for a replacement if they appear to be damaged. It is risky to let your bicycle fall, causing damage to it or other belongings, or injury to you or others. I own a 2005 RC51 (RVT1000R), which is not by any means a light sport bike, and I have been using the rear stand and front stand for several months now. One con I have is that the angle and length of the rear stand do require you to put more downward force than I would like, but this depends on how much weight your motorcycle has. You would be able to get more of an advantage when lifting the rear wheel with the rear stand lift arm if it were a little longer.
I am the first person to ever own a stand. I have been riding for the past six years and usually do my service myself or have it serviced by In addition to wanting to begin working on my 2019 Yamaha R3, I decided to purchase the stand. Despite the fact that the stand is in perfect shape, the box was slightly damaged during shipping, which is entirely There is a small scuff on the arm on the right side of the stand (see photo There was no instruction manual with the item, but it is incredibly easy to use It is self-explanatory, so long as you have common sense, you will be fine. I tried the stand out for the first time today, and I must admit, I was pretty nervous. I did not feel that the stand was sturdy or stable although I managed to mount my bike. Standing still with the bike on and off the ground, it felt cheap in a flimsy kind of way? In any case, what you pay for is what you get. There's no way to know if the ground was uneven enough so that the bike was unsteady when fully tilted. It was necessary to have another person assist me with stabilizing my bike. In terms of maintenance at this stand, I plan to do simple things. The chain needs to be lubricated, oil changed, and cleaned. The stand cost 90 bucks and shipped for free, so I guess it's a good investment for the first stand you'll purchase. This will be interesting to see how long it.
There are QC issues in the welding process! I have updated It only refunded me a portion of what I paid. My fault was not the damage and I was not in control of it. In spite of the fact that I had packaged it to be sent back as received, they found that the paint had been scratched when they got hold of Also, I had assembled it and was trying to use it to find issues with the arms, and I used loctite on the arms, which they claimed was Those who are interested in buying should know the following Make sure the arms are secure BEFORE you assemble the entire unit. If they're not, you'll get dinged. Make sure you don't make the same mistake again. Powersport Superstore is where I bought the product. This is a fine stand in its own right. Although it would have been better if it had more horizontal rigidity, it's fine for now.
But I can't It should be noted that the spool arms are not all welded the same way and will not line up with the spoils accordingly. It would be helpful if the seller could help me out here.
But it's half the price and works just fine for me.
Don't let him touch you. The hardware is rusted, one of the bolts is stripped because the cheap metal is not straight (holes do not line up as they should), and the product has an odd angle when assembled. In addition, one of the forks is Get away from him! Harbor Freight is your best option because at least then you can easily return it. I cleaned the hardware, but now I will have to go find a pin to put in and tig weld it in, in order to It also does not have a weight limit, so hopefully this will hold up my Kawasaki Vulcan S along with my aftermarket Delkavic exhaust (which is also horrible quality) as my pit bull stand literally hits the aftermarket exhaust.
Even though I was able to figure it out, it would have been nice to have directions. The packaging was also terrible the whole thing has scratches with deeper grooves and was rated at 7 out of 10.
The Vortex is strong enough to lift and hold my 350-pound bike, plus it is able to be slid forward and backward by the The complaints have not been received.
I think the handle would have been much better if it had been longer.
