[Tanx] Help needed 1989 US model front brake rotor replacement

[Milt Rudy via Tanx]

I used to use a wooden stool with enough boards on top, placed under the
center of the bike, to get one end off the ground.  I got it onto the stool
by leaning it to one side while inserting boards under the lifted side,
then alternating. Later I bought a hydraulic motorcycle lift from Pep Boys
on sale for $50.  They probably cost more now.  But I've used it on many of
the bikes I've owned since the Transalps and it sure makes maintenance
easier. Another alternative would be to use a hydraulic "bottle jack" under
the center of the bike to lift one end and place jack stands to hold it up
while you work on the front end.  Or, if you have a ceiling beam in the
garage and a block and tackle, hoist the front end by the handlebars till
it's off the floor.  Or, I've seen enduro riders lay the bike on its side
to change the tires.  If you have something to cushion the bodywork, that
might be an option.
