Same here. I dont have another person to balance the bike to get the wheel
off so I tried a couple of 2x4 blocks under the center stand. Basically you
can rock the bike to one side and slide one block under one side of the
center stand. Then rock the bike level and slide the block under the other
side . Now center stand is sittingon the block. Now add another block. Its
a little tricky but doable. Bike is now high in the back giving room to
clear the wheel. Be careful here I noticed that the rear drive lube will
run down the drive shaft tube. I noticed this because I had a torn boot and
the oil dripped out. I dont think its a problem since thelube should run
back into the rear drive
good luck
