Ducati Monster Forum

I haven't been able to find any discussion here or anywhere else specifically regarding paddock stands for the 696. Regular chain maintenance is quickly becoming a real chore without one.

First of all, would Pit Bull's standard rear stand even work with this swingarm? Should I just wait for something 696-specific? I understand that Motovation sells some rear axle sliders that supposedly work as bobbins, but I'm not even sure what the best stand would be for use with those.

What have you guys used?

Thanks in advance!

I have the Pit Bull Rear Standard and that works perfectly with the M696. I also purchased the Motovation rear axle and it makes it faster to lift the bike.

Would you say it's practical to use without the axle sliders? or is that just scary to be doing regularly?

I suppose I'm worried about buying the sliders and then scratching the HDPE with the metal stand... (I'm that vain! [roll])

The pit-bull stand that supports under the swing arm works great. You won't find a better stand for the money anywhere.

I have the Pitbull forward handle rear stand. They are much easier to use compare to the regular rear stand. With the forward handle I can balance the bike by holding the left hand grip. With the regular stand you need to balance the bike by the tail where you have less leverage as you reach back to push down on the stand to lift your bike up.

With this stand you interchange the plate to make it a standard as well. The standard plate is an option

Wish it was possible though.

Have a nice weekend!

does the rear stand scratch your rear axle sliders?

No, not at all. Plus, the groove on the sliders fits the spool plates perfectly.
Sorry for the long reply. I was out of town.  [drink]

There is always this  ;D

I told my fiancée that I wanted that and blinker fluid for Christmas. She asked me if I was only serious about the blinker fluid, or serious about both. God bless her. [laugh]

 I found a small piece of 2x4 that I shove under the side stand to make it easy to put my bike on a stand.

Any body have a part number for this stand?

standard-  F0042-000
spooled- F0043-000

does the standard plate come with the spooled version? or do you have to order it seperate? I see them listed separately, but am hoping i can order the spooled version, and hold off on actually getting the sliders/spools for a bit. (besides, i understand that if i'm changing my own tire, i'm going to have to take the sliders off, then what would hold the bike?).

Yes. The standard one I ordered (red rubber-covered handle in the back) has both on the same piece. You just flip 'em. Sleeper's is weird. [cheeky]

P.S. I donno why I would bother using the sliders as spools even if I had them (I have SpeedyMoto's sliders instead). I can imagine that the sliders would incur wear from mating with the metal.

If you take a look at my picture the spool plate does not have a standard plate head on the opposite end. You might have a newer model. Zedsaid, you should check into this... might save you a few bucks if Holden is right. The standard plate was separate when I purchase my stand.

I lift my bike up quite a bit for chain lube and tensioning, cleaning and inspecting wheel and tire. Of course, you cannot remove the rear wheel while using the sliders / spools but for me removing the rear wheel for maintenance or mods is rare. Having spools is much easier to gauge than with the standard plate. I also lift my bike up every night and there's barely any wear or scratches to the sliders caused by the plate. I have the shop replace tires for me so this setup is safer, more convenient, and easier to use for me. Of course, YMMV.

Do you have any in stock??  I didn't see it on the website??

i use the ducati rear stand

I also use DP stand, rubber part for swingarm fits 100%, and it is very firm and stable.
