SageRider Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looking at getting a bike lift and wondering if anyone can give a review of an Eazy Rizer (http://www.bike-lift.com/) lift as opposed to standard table lifts. My initial application would be an R1200-RT. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hummmmm........Probably not as cheap as Advil for a sore back but........Looks interesting Michael...... Link to comment
effexer1 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It may be difficult to change your bike oil when on one of these lifts. And you can't put a jack on it to lift up the front to remove the wheel. I don't know...... Link to comment
johnlt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It certainly is compact. It looks like there are several "lifting options". I'd want to make sure I could remove or rotate the wheels like "bumping" the rear wheel to get to TDC on valve adjustments. Also access to oil drain and filter is important. It these can be accomodated, it may work ok. Link to comment
outpost22 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Sage I can't really tell from their picture, but can you remove a wheel when using that lift? It looks like it's base may be too small to be unbalanced? I find it really important when working on my bikes to be able to rotate the handlebars to make room in areas, or remove a wheel when necessary. (For example, when working on the HES, replacing a front tire, checking the coil, installing Farkles, replacing alternator belt, replacing rear tire). This may not be a priority for you. Just thought I would mention it. Maybe this lift would work just fine for this stuff too? Link to comment
SageRider Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 The BMW adapter uses the swingarm mount in the rear and the cast flange through hole at the bottom front of the engine. (http://www.bike-lift.com/Frames/LiftingBMWs.htm) Oil filter and bottom is accessible. Both wheels would be fully accessible. Full range of fork swing. Link to comment
johnlt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well it sounds like a real alternative with much smaller footprint for storage. Go for it. Link to comment
Kritou Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 A friend of mine uses one of these with his R1150RT but finds a bike grab essential for starting the lifting process Link to comment
