When used on the rear, the handle comes to the left side! Absolutely amazing
J-Trip’s “Frame Stand JT-9601SL” is different from my homemade frame stand – it has a reverse layout.
What’s even more amazing is that when using it on the rear, “the handle comes to the left side so you don’t have to remove the tail pipe and silencer”
That was a bit of a stress point with my homemade frame stand… Honestly, it surpasses mine in every way. That’s J-Trip for you
Well, setting that aside, let me explain how to use it on the rear.
It’s crucial that the front doesn’t go forward
In our case, we first secure the front with a front chock. This chock has a stopper attached and is fixed, so the front is kept firmly in place.
After that, it’s basically the same as working on the front.
It’s possible to lift the rear just like a center stand.
Removing and installing the rear wheel is easier than with a racing stand since there’s nothing obstructing it. It’s also ideal for swing arm and rear shock maintenance.
When adjusting ride height and such, work will progress smoothly.
This frame stand is truly very convenient. You can think of it as a removable center stand.
However, if it accidentally comes off, it could be a disaster, and not all bikes with under tubes can use it. Those are the tricky points.
Kawasaki Z series is difficult for rear maintenance
Left is GSF 1200 Right is Z1R With a shape like the Z1R, it’s a bit difficult to use. If you use it as is, there’s a risk it could slip out, so you need to carefully check the shape of the other side’s under tube.
That said, if you go over this side stand and use it, you can use it.
However, due to balance issues, it could become like a seesaw, so it’s important to use a jack and other equipment to secure it firmly. While there are scary aspects, it’s a miracle that J-Trip is actually selling such an amazing stand. For niche products like this, the initial momentum is crucial. I’d be happy if everyone buys it right away and it becomes a long-lasting model.
Depending on the shape, it’s an incredibly worthwhile stand! If you’re into DIY work or run a motorcycle shop, definitely check it out.
