    Hi
    I bought a bit used Thunderbird Storm 1700(2012). Front tires is totally slick, need to change it now. What is the right way to lift the bike, as the exhaust pipes are lowest bit at bottom of the front side of bike?? Have one car jack, which should fit underneat. Thanks.

    @Minton Welcome to the family. Get a proper bike lift. Car jack you are looking for disaster. Bike jacks are cheap enough these days.

    Well, car jack does not fit under the bike. I found also bike lift which is some 14cm high and bike has some 10cm room underneat...But havent found yet any place to lift it??? Does the pipes take all the weight?
