      I have a habit of being with my bike whenever it is serviced. I will look into it. I will let you know the xact solution.
      Other hero service centre said its same.
      Otherwise i might take it to local shop. I have a mechanic very good in finding problems. 10years experience. We will see into it. We are in it together we will be out from it together

            How can a local mechanic would work on impulse it doesn't have a main stand and to work on cone set it needs a stand or a table or those service centre guys use where can we find that
            Online I search a table its very expensive I have some pics
            Any1 any other ideas
            Once I tild my mechanic to clean the rear drum its not easy to remove the rear tyre when you dont know the trick
            And we fitted some car jacks and hold bike atlast we were able to clean the drum
            My mechanic told first bring the table then only he will solve my cone set problem

            Look at this bike awesome

              Bro, anyone with a welding equipment and half a brain can make you that table in less then a day. Should not cost you much.

              I remember I had to repair a puncture on the road, I ended up using bunch of bricks.

              You are only limited by ones imagination. LOL

                You can get that made very easily as KrishnaGopal said. If youre a tourer that table/stool-stand wont be portable. Although you can use bricks and other things depending on your improvisation. Still one can carry a light small screw jack. Unscrewed it takes very less space as a luggage and its easily portable. Just sayin'.

                  hi... i use a stick strong enough to support the weight of bike. i place it under swingarm opposit to the side stand near rear wheel. ill tilt bike little more to the side of the side stand, place my stick and rear wheel is lifted. i clean my bike chain this way only. i taught this jugad to many mechanics around my place...

                    stick of size approx 2 inches more
                    then height of swingarm base from ground will do the job.

                    i use this stick.

                      This is some serious "jugad" bro!

                      I would take this on as a "stand" when touring, but for actual work on the bike - I find it a little unsteady. Also makes it hard to work on the front.

                      Lucky for me that my mechanic works with so many bikes that don't have center stand (duke, r15, NS, impulse), that he bought a paddock stand.

                        But after some time side stand will bend
                        And whenever you park your bike it will bend more from now
                        Have you seen old bikes parked on a side stand they lean more towards the ground as if it looks like it will fall
                        So the stick idea is good for emergencies

                            Let us know if the coneset replacement did any good.

                            Would like to see ur stand design, just something to take with on a trip or something.

                                This is a paddock stand my friend. What we are discussing here is a portable stool type stand to replace the missing centre stand.

                                Portable is in case one wants to take it on a road trip, just not to get stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat tyre.

                                I have few ideas in my head but did not put it on paper yet. Will do one day.
