On the Challenge there is no centre stand and I don't have a box type support or jack. Any ideas how I can prop the bike up off the ground to change the wheels from the small, road ones, to the large off road ones please? I have been keeping my eyes open for a milk crate, but not seen one anywhere yet! I don't want the thing falling on top of me!
 
A large rock or tree stump, hope this helps

Side stand and a wooden prop or two
 
Try an Enduro trail stand

As standard the bike has two small brackets attached to the underside of the frame designed to fit the lifting pins on a workshop stand . You can buy a stand from Becker Technik designed specially for the XChallenge which fits into these brackets

I must look and see if I still have those. I haven't noticed anything below the swing arm. Thank you for the link. I shall start saving.
 
Some better pictures of stand and where it fits (note smaller pins are fitted in last two pictures - larger pins to suit HP2 come as standard) :







 
I wish I'd had one of these when I replaced the rear shock on my bike! Rather than precariously balancing it on the side stand with a jack under the opposite peg....
