almost everyone has an old plastic milk crate. Just lean the bike way up un the side kick stand and jam the crate up under the middle of the bike until the rear wheel is clear of the pavement. Then lube with one hand and spin with the other.

Geeesh newbies... KLR will crush a plastic crate.. at least mine did.. On sidestand, lean bike over till the wheel leaves the ground, now stick a hammer (I use a rubber mallet) under the tip of the right side swingarm. Ta Da... Dooden A15 Green Ape

An alternative is to install a safety switch by-pass switch. Flip the switch, pull the bike onto the side stand with left hand. Start the engine and spray the chain with right hand. When done spraying, flip the by-pass switch and the engine will stall. DONE! No centre stand needed. A prop rod works for tire changing in the field and my floor jack works in the shop.

Just start it in nutral and lean it over on the side stand. And let the clutch out and the rear tire will roll forward with the drag on the clutch disk

the side stand with left hand. Start the engine and spray the chain with right hand. When done spraying, flip the by-pass switch and the engine will stall. DONE! No centre stand needed. A prop rod works for tire changing in the field and my floor jack works in the shop.

This is a troll, right, Norm? "When done spraying, turn off the key, or flip the kill switch, and the engine will stall." Or, "when done spraying, tap the bike into neutral, and set the bike down." Or, "when done spraying, set the bike down, let out the clutch lever and the engine will stall." Or even "when done spraying, set the bike down, and let out the clutch lever; the bike will run into the garage door and the engine will stall." ;-{>

Plan B (from a previous post); lean the bike over on the side stand til the wheel is off theground, set a piece of 2 by 4 under the axle to hold the tire off the ground but not let it fall over. Spin, wipe and oil to your heart's content. It works fine.
