Strange question here.  I'm de-ICEing my garage.  Obviously no need to keep oil change equipment or trickle charger.  Is there any reason I'd want to keep a Pitt Bull stand?  Handy for an ICE bike for some maintenance.  Are there spools for the Zero bikes, or any need to use one?

Tire changes, belt replacement, wheel bearings... everything on a ICE bike except the engine.

OK.  Thanks.  I mostly use the stand for more routine things like chain maintenance.  I bring the whole bike to a shop for tire changes, since I can't mount and balance in my garage, and if I took the wheel off, I'd have to walk to the shop.  Can the belt tension be checked while on the side stand?

I've used a wheel chock stand for my Zero when the kickstand was damaged, but have not had success with my Pit Bull stands for my V-Strom, finding suitable spools for the Zero or a way to pin under the front forks because the DS fender gets in the way.

I will likely get a reasonably good center lift for belt maintenance and such things. The Zero is easily supported from the center, anyway.
