Can I remove the rear tire w/out a stand

[The Big Red One]

Well!use a jack with you side stand.Leave your bike resting on your side stad and place the jack (with some rubber on the contact shoe)at the exhaust hose just under the oil level eye and just back of the oil bleeding screw avoiding touching the fairing,just the exhaust hose.Lifting the jack your rear weel will be rised.IF you place your jack the frontest possible just before touching the fairing(somewhere in front of the oil bleeding screw)  then your bike will rise her front weel.

My buddy has been doing his tire changes this way for YEARS and YEARS and hundres of thousand of miles on all diff kinda bikes

All he uses is his floor jack...some 2x4's...and his side stand. Works awesome for him. I've been trying to talk him into stands forever....he says why?, I don't need them.
I would never do it that way, but he's proof that if done right, it works...and well
