First!
Great info, I'll keep it in mind for if a future bike doesn't have a center-stand (centre-stand?)
Looking forward to the tie-down strap tutorial too.
Enjoy the weekend, Stuart!
Nice video. The frame rails are a nice feature, I wish my 20 year-old lift had them.
Nice…… my Street Twin does not have a centre stand but Tecbike do one for £95…… this is food for thought……🤔
Noble Sir, that was very informative.
May I observe, though, that the geometry of the swivel castors would appear to give you a little more height advantage if positioned flat side down. Would that give you enough to deploy the frame rail cups? If still not quite enough, how about running the front wheel up onto say a 25mm thick plank of wood, before introducing the lift.
Kind Regards.
A sturdy looking lift.
i think u should have flipped swivel wheels upside down to actually lift bike. castors down only to move it into position. just my 2p
could it be good for the T100 year 2018?
Hi Stuart , great vid, must say I have had a jack like that for many years to lift my xr1200 which I use to own.
Up date on my front wheel it has been renewed like the 2017 models, just need to ride it.
Keep up the vids as they are really good. Safe riding!
I genuinely look forward to Wednesdays and Fridays because I know u are going to post new videos up. Keep up the great work!
Paddock stand.
OK give in .where did you find it for less than £150 ???
Stuart, I have a similar but different brand jack. It operates the same though. I find it indispensable for working on the bike. I also use it for washing and waxing the bike. This allows me to sit on a stool instead of kneeling on the ground. Great info. Thank you.
Hi Stuart.
I've been using an older version to hoist my old Tour Glide for years…..no problems and a great piece of kit, as long as you engage some common sense.
The only thing I've found, the machine is more stable if the lift controls are under the side stand side of the bike.
Don't know why but it is, trust me!
Another very useful video, thank you.
Looks like a decent lift, Great choice!
Very ‘uplifting’ video 😃
Great video Stuart and as always very informative with lots of detail. All the best sir.
Another excellent video Stuart, thanks, I don't know how you keep putting them out. I've struggled with the T'Bird using a car jack under the rear suspension unit with the side stand, in order to clean/adjust the chain. A real pain, and I have thought of buying a jack like the one here however I still conclude I'd be best off buying a new centre stand for the sheer convenience of having it with me wherever I happen to go! Not as good for major maintenance but I don't have any heavy work planned…
This vs paddock stands?
Hi Stuart, thanks for this and all your other really informative videos. I haven't got a bike yet and have never had one but I intend to get a T-120 in the coming months.
It would seem to me that another essential tool is a torque wrench. They also come in at a wide price range and I suppose a wide quality range too. I have been looking at some and the Gerode brand seem to be top quality and not too expensive, although, again, there are much cheaper ones around. Would you recommend any particular brand. Also, as you have been working on your bike for a while now, do you know what torque range would be required for most jobs on the T-120 ? Thanks again, Ian
Hiya Stuart cracking video i have ordered the lift today on the back of your review. Although i paid £168, V.A.T and delivery included i personally could not find it cheaper and had enough searching as. Steve new subscriber.
