Paddock Stands

Paddock Stand for Maintenance and Storage

Many sport motorcycles are delivered as standard without a center stand. This can be inconvenient for minor maintenance, such as lubricating or tensioning the chain, cleaning the wheels, or replacing tires. Also, a motorcycle on its side stand often takes up more space when stored. A paddock stand is the ideal solution for this: easy to use, stable, and safe.

What is a Paddock Stand?

A paddock stand is a special type of motorcycle stand that allows you to set the motorcycle upright and often even lift it (partially). This makes maintenance and cleaning much easier. They are indispensable in the workshop, but also useful in the garage or shed for those who want to store their motorcycle neatly and securely.

Different Types of Paddock Stands

• Rear Paddock Stand: Lifts the rear wheel off the ground, ideal for chain maintenance and cleaning.
• Front Paddock Stand: Lifts the front wheel, useful for maintenance on the front fork, brakes, or wheel changes.
• Universal Paddock Stand: Suitable for many different motorcycles, often adjustable in width.
• Model-Specific Paddock Stand: Designed for a specific type of motorcycle, with a perfect fit and stability.

Tips for Safe Use of a Paddock Stand

• Ensure your motorcycle is equipped with bobbins on the swingarm for extra stability.
• Always place the motorcycle on a flat, firm surface to prevent it from shifting.
• If you are lifting both the front and rear? Always start with a rear paddock stand for maximum stability.
• Choose the correct width and type of paddock stand that fits your motorcycle and swingarm.
• Check the maximum load capacity of the stand, especially for heavy motorcycles.
• Also use a paddock stand for winter storage, this prevents flat spots on the tires.
