The stands are for working on the bike, removing the wheels, lubing the chain, cleaning, etc etc. Yes, you can run the bike on the stands, but no real point in doing so. ---

> [@BlackedOut](#): > > Stand for bike = Jack for car :noob: umm… fuck you. I know what they do. I was asking what the intended use was. I think it was a valid question. I don’t ride a sport bike so i was just wondering what the purpose of the stands were… I always throw my bike on an atv lift so I was just asking… So whats the advantage to these over an atv lift? I’m assuming they are just easier to operate for basic maintenance. ---

You’re starting an argument with sportbike riders, we carry tasers. Cut the shit. Front and rear stands are just an easier way to lift the bike from the ground when not in use or in storage, kick stands are nice but I know with a rear stand my bike will not get knocked over. ---
