Motorcycle Wheel Chock

You may not have given much thought into a motorcycle wheel chock. I know I didn't until I was trying to save space for storing my motorcycles in the garage. Spoiler alert: I definitely think adding a motorcycle wheel chock to your garage is a worthwhile investment.

Useful video. Took me a long time to find a video that actually shows the bike being mounted and then removed from the device, as opposed to just reviews. Thanks! 😎

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. I want to state as well that it got way easier to use over time.

[@ezekielgskeen8607]

thank you for awesome info video, I just ordered one on amazon, so it makes it more easy for my bike to stay in place for my chain cleaning up, thanks again from UK

Great review, On my way to PrincessAuto to get one. Thanks!

[@UrAvgRider]

Great 👍 Thanks so much for your comment. Feel free to post in here to tell us how you like it. Thanks again.

Nice review. Looks like the same one I got at Princess Auto here in Edmonton. One thing we've discovered is using the chock with a brand new tire. Make sure you have a friend to hold the chock down or bolt it down as the new tire will become wedged in the chock since the rubber is so new and sticky. YMMV :)

[@UrAvgRider]

That’s the one. I use it all the time. I was using it with new tires on the Bonneville and didn’t find it sticky at all. But it’s a pretty skinny tire. Thanks for your comment.

[@twowheeledsmurph]

UrAvgRider could be just my luck! Haha. Ya I was using it on a Tracer 900. 5 of my friends all use the same one for our DS bikes and no issues. Thanks again for reviewing it.

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks again for your comments. I appreciate it.

[@DavidM2002]

Good tip. I just bought one and it should arrive this week. I'm going to spray a little bit of furniture polish on the contact surface; don't worry, not on the part that contacts the tread. Not that it wouldn't wear off in a few revolutions once back on the road.

[@UrAvgRider]

Let us know if that works for you. Thanks so much for your comment.

[@alfbaldwin7144]

Thanks for the detailed explanation

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks for your comment. (I was definitely not comfortable talking in front of the camera at this point)

[@alfbaldwin7144]

Well, take a bow and some credit. You enunciate perfectly, speak slowly and clearly. Kudos to you. If I was to guess…you were a teacher?

[@UrAvgRider]

Ha ha. Thanks. Truth is I am quite hearing impaired and work quite hard at speaking clearly.

[@riggers7480]

It looks very similar to one sold in the UK; I bought mine only last week and finally got around to putting it together yesterday. It doesn't work as intended, unless its position on the floor is fixed in some way: I note you have a piece of wood ahead of it, butting against the wall. For me, free-standing, trying to push the bike into it just causes the stand to slide, ahead of the bike. I'm retuning it for a refund tomorrow.

[@UrAvgRider]

I appreciate your comment. I truthfully found the same thing as you at first. The front tire would push the stand forward. Hence the wood in this video. And I don’t know why, but at one point that stopped happening. If I were to place my bet, I would say it was because I wasn’t comfortable enough to do it with normal speed. I hope that helps. It is a useful item.

[@pacmancalgary]

Thanks for showing how it works. These chocks appear to be a knockoff of the Baxley Sport chock, which is made in the USA and rock solid.

[@UrAvgRider]

Mine is definitely not made in the US. But I use it all the time and it’s been great. Thanks for your comment.

[@pacmancalgary]

@@UrAvgRider how wide is your front tire? I've read online that for skinnier tires, it can move around quite a bit as the cradle can't grip the tire. I've also read that putting washers on the pivot pins tightens it up a bit and grips the tire

[@UrAvgRider]

Front tire on my Bonneville is 100mm wide and the Honda has a 120mm front tire. It’s not too narrow for either. Thanks again for your comment.

[@user-jc3rv5st3m]

I was so worried about the offload the bike, I once almost dropped the bike and I pulled it back so hard

[@UrAvgRider]

I haven’t experienced that yet. I usually have my hand on the front brake when taking the bike out of the wheel chock. Thanks for your comment.

[@f1pitpass]

cheers, subbed!

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. I’m going to check out your channel.

[@bernardlesperance742]

I don't understand what's all the secrecy around the brand name of the product. I can't find it anywhere, even in your response to a viewer's question about it. What's up with that ?! PLEASE - what is the brand name of this wheel chock?

[@UrAvgRider]

No secrecy. This one happens to be from a surplus store. Likely no brand name. But I suspect that most wheel chocks are going to be about the same. Thanks for your comment. Let me know if I can answer any more questions.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I never caught what brand or model it is? Do you have a link to your specific one?

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks so much for your comment. If you expand the description of my video (click the arrow down), I have the link for this particular wheel chock. I don’t think it’s a particular brand. I’m sure it’s a common style though. Thanks again.

[@bernardlesperance742]

The brand/model appears to be TOP SECRET - absolutely nowhere is it mentioned in this video and comments. And note that, except for me, no one has replied to your question about it (vs. all the other comments). WEIRD !

@@UrAvgRider THANK YOU !!!

[@philtheride]

I put my sportbike on this just a while ago... Couldn't get it off no matter how hard I tried 😂 now it's just stuck there and I don't know if I can ever get it off 😂. It slides back when I try to pull it 🤦

[@UrAvgRider]

Ha ha. Sorry for laughing. Have someone stop the stand with their foot. Thanks for your comment.

[@philtheride]

@@UrAvgRider Will do this asap. It's fine, I'm also laughing at what I did anyways 😂😂 . I'll set the adjustment on the stand to the one nearest to the wheel next time, might make it easier to remove the wheel from the chock

[@UrAvgRider]

@@philtheride that should help. (Sounds like something I would have done as well). Thanks again. Ride safe.

[@TheMarky26]

Would this thing be ok for transport or would i still have to strap the front?

[@UrAvgRider]

This is great for transportation. But I would still highly recommend strapping as well.

[@TheMarky26]

I got the same one but can't get this thing to work with my klr 650..seems like the wheel is too narrow..

[@UrAvgRider]

The front tire on my Bonneville is 100/90R19. I believe your front tire is a 90/90R21. 10mm difference for width but maybe it’s the combination with the 21” wheel as well. Is it possible use the wheel chock with your back tire? If the exhaust is high enough it may work???

[@TheMarky26]

@@UrAvgRider i never thought about trying it.. maybe ill give it a try..

[@UrAvgRider]

Keep us posted. Thanks so much.

[@sachin3698]

Is it required to bolt down the Chock to the floor?

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks so much for your comment. It is not required and it is not bolted down in my garage. Please let me know if you have further questions.

[@sachin3698]

@@UrAvgRider Great. Thank you!

[@equalizer7775]

Hi buddy,I purchased an oxford wheel chock but everytime I try to run the bike onto it ,it just keeps sliding forward,I didn’t notice but did you have to anchor yours to the ground? great vid,

[@UrAvgRider]

Thanks so much for your comment. It did slide a little at first. I have placed 2x4 behind it (bracing against something) to hold it in place. But now it just holds on its own. Once the front tire is on, it’s solid. The wheel chock has been an extremely valuable tool. Thanks again.

[@chrisknowles]

Excellent review, thanks! I'm looking at a pair of these for my toy hauler. I tried to follow your link but it is outdated Not sure about pasting links here, but you can go to Princess Auto and search for part number 8879751

[@UrAvgRider]

I’ll change the link. Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it.
