    Scott, great display of "how to use the paddock stand" to get the bike to stand upright to be able to check the oil level, and, do an oil change on it while it's "up". Doug🏍️👍😁⭐⭐⭐🐻🤓

    I'm now 70 years old have been riding since God was a boy, from Francis Barnetts to Bonnevilles to Harleys to a Super Blackbird. My last bike - just sold (reluctantly) - was a zzr600 which I loved, but at my age reactions aren't what they used to be. I have been looking at either a Royal Enfield Interceptor or the Kawasaki Vulcan and leaning more and more towards the Kawasaki, so thanks for your vids, they fill in the small important points such as ease of changing oil etc. Stay safe, regards

    The Vulcan S and RE Int650 were also my top two choices also. I don't think you could go wrong either way. Thanks and ride safe!

    Hey Scott(Slow Rider) , I've asked you about your 650 S. I've wanted to get a paddock stand, yet, couldn't find any vids on how to lift your bike and get it underneath. Your video is timely and helpful. I'm sure there are people who think it's trivial, and, not worth the time (audio and video-wise) to explain the way, and, how to use one! Now, because you took the time to show how it's to be used, I can have confidence in working with the paddock stand. Thank-you so much for taking a topic,that people feel is SO beneath them, and, earning the respect, and, trust of your viewers!👍🤓🏍️⭐ Doug

    Thanks Doug, really appreciate! The first time you use it try to have someone standing up front holding the bars to give it some stability so you can get a feel for it. But you'll be fine either way.

    @@slowridertv Scott, I will definitely have a second person to hold up the MC so I can "roll it up" in one fluid motion. This will so make it easier to do an oil change or some other type of maintenance work on my bike. I may just have the fun of sending you the video of me operating my lift-stand into place, doing the work, then, dismounting the bike off the stand! I'll keep you posted on the progress of the lift-stand Scott. 😁👍🤓🏍️🐻😇Doug

    Hi great video . Most of the paddock stands I look at seem to be too narrow for the Vulcan’s rear wheel. Which one are you using? Thanks

    Great video. I have the same bike and want to buy the stand for maintenance, but I can't figure out what size to buy. Could you tell me the brand and the dimensions of your stand, please. Thank you.

    Thanks Jay! Here is the link to the stands I got www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036QZ8VQ You will need "rear slider spools". My VS already had them, so I can't tell you exactly what they are, but shouldn't be too difficult to find.
