Why Should I Service My Own Bike?
Motorcycles are expensive, high-performance machines that require specialized tools and equipment to keep them running at tip-top condition, so if you're not conducting regular service and maintenance on your own motorcycle, then you're spending unnecessary time and money at the dealership or mechanic; not to mention you're missing out on one of the greatest aspects of owning a bike! Put your time and sweat into keeping your motorcycle running at peak performance. It will help extend the life of your motorcycle and add a whole new dimension to your connection with your ride.
Are Motorcycle Jacks Stable?
When used correctly, motorcycle jacks are the safety choice for temporarily lifting a motorcycle off the ground just enough for maintenance or service. Most have built-in safety features such as locking pins, and are engineered to balance the bike when the jack is properly positioned. Keep in mind that if the motorcycle will be elevated for a long period of time, or such as winter storage or more heavy-duty repairs, the bike should be transferred to a lift table or a stand instead.
How to Safely Raise a Motorcycle on a Lift Table
- Start with the motorcycle lift table in the lowest position, with the ramp lowered to the ground.
- With control, walk or ride the motorcycle up onto the platform and nest the front wheel into the included chock that most models have.
- With the engine off and kickstand engaged, secure the motorcycle to the lift table with tie-down straps.
- Once the bike is secured, raise the lift table to the desired height and engage the safety lock. Depending on the make/model, you might have to release the table slightly for the lock to set in place.
Are Motorcycle Dollies Safe?
Yes, when used according to the instructions motorcycle dollies are incredibly helpful for moving a bike around the garage without having to start the engine. Whether it's a bike in winter storage or a nonworking project bike, motorcycle dollies allow the bike to rest on its kickstand just as it would on the ground and be moved around your space accordingly.
