Make sure you jack at a point far enough forward on the engine to not upset the balance on the centrestand. The last thing you want to do is be so close to the centrestand itself that you just jack the entire bike off the stand and onto its side. :o

I speak from experience. Yep, you live, you learn...

Thanks for the warning. Don't worry, I have no desire to have my bike come crashing down on top of me.

How about using one of these http://www.mandp.co.uk/p/532400/motorcycle-wheel-spin

You only have to lean the bike back and slide this under the front wheel to spin it.

Can't get the wheel out using that. Better off with a block of wood under the engine.
