I want to buy a new factory lowered 650GS. It looks as if I can't get a centre stand for it. I can live with that but I would like to get a bike hydraulic lift to do the regular maintenance stuff.
Which one would fit the bike?

Regards
Linda

Because the bike doesn't have a bottom frame section, it will be quite difficult to use a bike lift on it.

A Track stand (it lifts the rear wheel clear of the ground) would be your best option, but these can be a bit tricky to use on ones own. Generally safer if you have some assistance.

If you are worried about how you'll oil the chain, fear not as you can spray the lube/wax on in sections, moving the bike along a bit till your done.
