How to Use a Motorcycle Lift Effectively

The simplest way to utilize a motorcycle lift would be to first slide it within the motorcycle, lock the revolving rear wheels, then press the pedal in the hydraulic jack which lifts the motorcycle. It is generally agreed that this lift is best suited in the event the motorcycle is in this particular position such that it must be positioned vertically with the entire bottom up on a swing-arm stand. However, if you don’t possess a swing-arm stand, then make sure that the motorcycle is parked nearly vertical with something like wood under the side will minimize the lean. After ensuring that you have enough clearance on the right side for the exhaust, the lift can be pushed beneath the engine in the side opposite sideways stand.

You will need to do not forget that if any leverage is added to the leading or rear in the motorcycle, then this motorcycle lift or perhaps the motorcycles will likely tip. Anchoring the motorcycle towards the lift may appear to be advisable however this won’t stop the tipping. As a matter of fact, with this scenario, both lift along with the motorcycle will tip together.

To go back the motorcycle towards the normal position, you will have to tighten the jack valve and pump the lift jack before the safety bar is released. Put the safety bar in a locked position and slowly release the valve thereby decreasing the motorcycle to its parked position after confirming how the side stand is down.
