    Default jacking points for a spyder rt limited 2016

    I was wandering how I can lift up my 2016 rt to change the oil a little easier with a motorcycle jack?

    If you're talking the Motorcycle ATV style jack, keep the back rail forward of the end of the center frame end (usually in line with the Front footrest/pegs.

    Default Let's see....

    Default Thank you for your help

    I was looking through the forum, and saw what you was talking about on one of Lamonster's thread and I see what you are saying, but the one thing I am not getting is about the 2x4 placement. Also a person on hear said that he thought that it wasn't a good idea to put jack stands under the A arm's. Like I said this is going to make it easer to work on my spyder. again thank you for your help

    Default Jack stands

    I put them under A arms every day. No harm, no foul, no damage. Go ahead, it will be fine.

    If you can put a jack stand under the A arms doesn't that also imply that you can jack it up there (to change a tire, for instance)?

    That's helpful. Unsure what you mean by using a 2x4 to span the mount...can you elaborate? Thanks.
