One thing that is nice about an enduro bike, or as 2Ply called it, a sit-down bike, is that the frame extends into the rear fender. You can use that to maneuver the rear wheel when the bike is in the shop or your loading it or whatever.

On my TXTPro, I can use that little area down under the silencer, just forward of the rear fender on the left side. (I'm assuming Shercos, Montessa, etc have similar issues.) But you have to wrap your hand around the exhaust. That sort of sucks when the bike is hot. Don't want to do like Cain on "Kung Fu" and have GasGas branded on my hand. Not that I don't like my bike. But...

I saw an ad for something called a "Tugger." It was a nylon web strap that went around the rear fender so you could tug on it. Has anyone tried it, or have any other techniques for moving the bike around in the shop or when you don't quite make that log, or slip into a ditch, or whatever.

dont do it gasgas dont have subframes,the airbox is the subframe,i try to grab the swing arm

Yes, use the swing arm to lift the rear and use your legs to lift. very easy this way.
You can lift and move the front around by holding the front brake and then reach down low near the very front of the tire and use the spokes as a handle.
You can do a similar lift if the bike is off by locking it in gear and reach for the rear spokes or tire since for the rear, you will not need one hand on the brake.
If you reach over the bike and grab the swing arm, then weave your arm under the steering head to the fork tube away from you, you can lift the entire bike. Easier if you own a Pro Gas Gas.







This is one way to save the bottle jack in your Moto Jack-Rack. Also much faster.
