A motorcycle axle holder for use with a motorcycle stand, wherein the motorcycle stand has a first cylindrical member extending from a substantially vertical cylindrical member and the motorcycle stand is configured to lift an end of a motorcycle off a surface for removal of a motorcycle axle and wheel therefrom, the motorcycle axle holder comprising:
- a main body having a front end with a cylindrical bore configured to receive the substantially vertical cylindrical member such that the main body is adjustable about the substantially vertical cylindrical member in a vertical direction and in a rotational direction;
- and
- an angle axle hole positioned in the main body and configured to receive and hold a first end of a motorcycle axle, such that when the first end of the motorcycle axle is positioned in the angle axle hole, a second end of the motorcycle axle distal to the first end creates bearing forces between the motorcycle axle and the angle axle hole such that a self-locking reaction force is generated between a surface of the cylindrical bore and the substantially vertical cylindrical member securing the motorcycle axle holder in a secure orientation.
