This is my first post and so, first of all, an introduction of me, since I haven't found a specific thread for that:
I am a new Varg owner.
I live in northern Italy, where I also find a lot of people from other European countires like Germany or Switzerland at motocross tracks, so maybe I'll meet you if you are Italian or if you are among those who come here to ride from other countries.
I have started doing supermoto and motocross years ago, but I haven't really ridden much in these years because I dislike the amount of maintenance required for ICE motocross bikes. My ICE SM bike is decently reliable but too heavy and my ICE MX bike is a proper racing bike but it needs too much care for my tastes.
I certainly feel more encouraged to ride this new bike which is at the same time a high performance and, supposedly and hopefully, a low maintenance machine.
So, talking about the title of the topic, don't you think that this bike is quite hard to be put on a stand compared to a typical MX bike? Maybe I am I the only one who thinks that... ? It's a little heavier and maybe the weight distribution is different.
I cant't put it on the stand by pushing with my thigh and I can't find a way to do it while, at the same time, keeping my back straight and by pulling something sturdy like the subframe.
Personally I've managed to to do it with little effort by raising the bike by putting both wheels on some wooden boards, sliding the stand under the bike and then slowly removing the boards until the bike sits onto the stand.
Vice versa for getting it off the stand, but this technique is time consuming.
I guess I will end up buying one of those triangular stands, at least for my trackdays.
I'd like to know whether you agree that it's indeed harder and whether you use some particular technique.
