    Default Lifting an RT Limited

    I saw a picture somewhere of a Spyder up on a lift, similar to a Craftsman motorcycle lift.
    I have the Craftsman lift that has the two flat bars you put under the motorcycle and lift it up.
    I believe it will handle up to 1500 lbs.
    If I can use this to lift the Spyder, are there certain points under the Spyder that this lift should set at so it lifts the bike evenly?

    My wife wants to raise the bike up so it is easier to clean the wheels, chrome, and lower parts of the bike.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Default Lifting A 2016 Can-Am Spyder RT

    Does anyone have pictures of where to place the lift and where stands should be placed to stabilize it?

    Default Sure....

    20150630_123305.jpg works well. If more than cleaning the wheels use stands...

    I use a lift similar to the one in post 4. It's a low profile motorcycle lift. Roll it in so that the beams are just ahead of the exhaust joint. It'll be about even with the lower wind deflectors. Be careful lowering it so you don't get anything on the bike snagged when it comes down. Use stands for added safety if you're gonna be under it.
