Please Help (Front End/Fork/Tire ?'s) UPDATE

[Team_Serpent]

Be careful of some front stands like that though! Though they are good to hold your bike, some dont allow you to get the axle out!  They are far better than the alternative though! 

I think you're refering to the stand I recommended.  I've never seen/used one that wouldn't allow the axle to be removed.  I have used one that required me to point the steering slighty to the left or right to get the axle to clear the stand.  Do you know what brand you were using?  Did it not allow movement of the steering?

Thanks for the help.  I chose this stand just for the winter, so my bike can sit up off the tires.  My SV does have the type of stand your are reffering to.  I will get this crooked thing checked out some time.  The weather is turning cold in Chicago.  Not much riding left.  Not to mention school and hockey just started back up.  Busy full time.

Gottcha, I'm in the Chicago area myself.  Feel free to email me at info@serpentracing.com for my phone number if you need more detailed Info.
