That in essence was my "first" shade tree oil change of my Sporty...pulled the bike close to wooden fence along side, cocked the wheel to the left, put the bike in gear put jiffy stand down, and gently leaned it over lightly to the right (about 10 lbs lean). Put wood blocks to secure and bike was ready to check/fill levels. Using the 99c Store bike hooks to the fence was a "refinement"...Bungee cords/Ancra straps a bit further...
