I check mine when I have the bike on a lift for cleaning.

I pull one bag and that opens up the rear tire a bunch. You don't need it on a lift.

What he said.
&nbsp\\;
Roll the bike til the air fitting is at the bottom.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; No other way that I am aware of.

+1 on removing the right-side bag.&nbsp\\; Makes it a lot easier.

Not really
Get on your hands and knees or take off the bag, then get on your hands and knees.
Pretty much it,
