I did a search of the forum but didn't come up with any info on lifting my GTV so I can take the wheels off. My new tires are due within the next few days and I was wondering how others have done it.

Pictures would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Rear wheel is off the ground when on the centerstand. No drama there.

Propping up the front is also easy just by placing something under the body--the underseat bucket (turned upside down) does a nice job.

You just lift the front of the bike and kick your prop under the body near the legshield.

Good luck.

For wheel chages, I just put it on the stand, and then use the bottle jack from my truck to prop up the front end. Just slips in beneath the undercarriage. I put a small piece of wood under there to protect the paint.

I put a concrete paver under the stand to get it up a bit more for oil changes.

It just so happens I have a photo of that:
