go down the pub and find the fattest bird you can put the bike on the centre stand and get her to sit on the pillion seat,this will lift the front wheel........ :rollin :rollin :rollin

just grab the wheel by the *spoke* and turn it. or put a trolley jack under the header.

Breeze block on the floor and tie a rope to it and the bike rear :eek

Block of wood and a wedge under the exhaust headers doe it for me. Trolley jack would also work just don't lift it to high or it could all end in :'(

Wouldn't be able to do this for hours on end but I just grab the left fork with my left hand and lift, then spin the wheel with my right. I'm 5'6 & 9 1/2 stone so if I can do it, I'm sure most could!

I just bungee strap my tool box on the rear seat, its just enough to almost pivot the bike on the center stand, makes it very easy to check front a rear with almost no effort

just put a bit of weight on the rear seat or if you have a top box fill that up with something heavy

I've got a 50mm jack up kit on my fazer, So when it's on the center stand both wheels sit on the floor and i can't budge the bike either way. But when I needed to see if the rotation was okay for M.O.T I just put the bike on a little bit of a hill facing upwards and got somebody to push down on the back so the front would raise up.
