Howie51 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Any tips/comments on using a hydralic lift on an 03 R1150RT ? First attempt indicates forward weight bias. Link to comment
Ken H. Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 What type of a lift are we talking about? Link to comment
Howie51 Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 It's a Costco style Bike Lift with two arms. Link to comment
Rob L Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I bought a lift from Greg Smith Co. in Indianapolis. Very nice and uses compressed air cylinder https://www.gregsmithequipment.com/catal...a66cba7db30d425 Link to comment

Huzband Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 You DO NOT want to lift the bike using only the oil pan for support. The aluminum is not designed to hold 600 lbs. Link to comment

Ken H. Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Picture attached ... click on attachments It's tough to get this kind of lift to work on the R bikes. There's not enough of anything underneath to span the arms of the lift, and as you say, the balance point is not right. I've heard of people welding up adapter plates for them, but baring that, probably best to look elsewhere. Link to comment
