V Lift Motorcycle Lift

Saw this over on the ADVRider site earlier today and haven't seen it here yet so I thought to post a link. Looks like a manually operated version of a small lift jig https://thevlift.com/?q=thevlift

Cool but doesn't really do much for an FJR IMO.....

Can't use that to get the rear wheel high enough to get it out the back...

I lift mine with a ATV jack - and it works perfectly...

Here's a pic from when I was having my wheels painted..
Ignore the straps, I only put those on there to keep it stable while it was on the lift for the extended period of 3 weeks, in case someone was to bump it. When I'm changing out tires or doing short period service I'm more then confident of this small jack. it lifts and is stable without the straps - no problem.

Zero ill effects using this on the FJR.....

Does it rest on the headers?

 

[Warpdrv]

The Exhaust system yes....

I put the bike on the center stand, slide the jack under as close to the centerstand as possible - then start to raise it up gently...

Little bit of wobble, but not bad.... if your going to be jerking it around I would suggest a stabilizing system like I did with my straps. then its totally solid.

Been doing it this way on my 05 for 10 years with no problems...

You can get a lift similar to Warpdrv at Harvbor Freight for $79. Much cheaper and works on my FJR as well as my Harley.

Warpdrv's lift looks the same as the harbor Freight one I have. I use it the same way he does with the addition of a 1 x 4 under the exhaust system just to level the bike a little -- works fine. For me anyway. And it appears I quoted myself. lol
