Re: does this hurt the bike?
i don't have a rear stand for my bike so when i wanna lube it, i just walk it a little bit, lube it, walk it a little bit, lube it...etc..etc
but since i got the cage, i just put it into neutral, rap a towel around the exhaust, and slowly lay the bike down onto its side on the cage...and then, i lube away and spin tire with my hands...
is it bad for the bike to be on its side for a long time(4-5 minutes)?

Actually being on the right side that long you are going to drain some of your timing from inside the timing chain compartment. So you are going to need to check and refill your timing levels. Turn your bike on and put your ear to the rightside of the bike, if you hear ticking your timing is off. If your timing is off your firing will be all fucked up. The local dealer ship should have some timing fluid on hand, just go down and ask for some.
Actully everyone knows it makes the piston return springs dry up... but u can let them dry up a few times before future problems with cracking etc..

lay it on it's side, lube it up, spin the wheel. stand it up, put it in first n just idle down the street.
it's afro engineering at it's finest, also a good way to take the rim off to change the tire.

a car jack under the center of the exhaust should let your bike sit on the kickstand/front tire/jack and leave the rear in the air.. Thats how I do it
