Stands to deliver easier maintenance

German firm SW Motech is offering centrestands for bikes that don’t come with them as standard. They should make chain lubing, adjusting and other maintenance much easier to carry out.

The stands are all designed to maintain ground clearance, so lean angles aren’t clobbered, and the makers claim they are easy to fit and stable when in use. They come in a powder-coated black finish.

You can also get them for Honda’s Varadero, Hornet 600 and 900 and CB1300, Suzuki’s V-Strom 650, 1000 and SV650, Yamaha’s TDM850/900 and Virago 535, Triumph’s Tiger 955i and Speed Triple and Kawasaki’s Z1000.

Prices start at £97.50 and rise to £164.50. They are available through Motohaus in the UK.
