Why no center stand forKLX250?
Is the design of the frame underneath the issue why no after market/OEM center stand is available? Sure would be nice for working on the rear of the bike. I've searched all over and nothing is listed.

All I have to do to answer this question is to look underneath my skidplate and rear linkage parts. I can't imagine how many crashes or destroyed center stands I would have experienced if my KLX had one...well...maybe not. It would have been the first thing off my bike in a heartbeat. Now, someone who could really use/want a center stand might have selected the wrong bike...or...maybe an SF would be more appropriate. Nothing wrong with center stands, but they aren't on some model bikes for good reason.

I found a carefully placed floor jack or even a stick or big rock along with the side stand can bias the bikes balance to pull a front or rear wheel. Sketchy? Yes. Do I do it anyway? Yes. Its no less sketchy then the garbage Track Side MX stand I got from Cycle Gear. If you want a 'trail tool' for when your in a bind, then check out...

I like that kane jack, just make one out of 2 telescoping pieces of conduit.
In the garage I just put a cable eye in the ceiling with a 2x4 across the rafters. Works good and can't fall off.
