    Default Can someone show pics of Jacking / lifting points?

    Can someone show pictures of the lift / jacking points on the newer (2019ish) Spyder RT

    I have a auto floor Jack and don't have ATV Jack.
    Also where to put the Jack stands

    Thank you!

    A arms in front, and rear lower shock mount for the rear work well. If you get a bike lift, the frame makes a "T" underneath that makes a good lifting point.

    The service manual states to never lift by the rear shock bolt; lift by the frame only.

    Mazo specifically said the rear shock mount. I have a specifically marked piece of 2x4 for lifting using the mount. If one lifts using the shock and thereby the shock bolt as the lift point one can bend the shock bolt making it a devil to remove. There s history on this topic in SL.

    Default To lift a spyder

    I Kbaldwin


    I check my brakes, and change the oil as in the pictures, I made three wooden blocks, I use my car ramps to mount the front, for my rear jack that I press on the shock absorber.

    Shock bolt or shock mount still isn't the frame. The manufacturer has always stated to lift by the frame only.

    Put some pieces of board or some blocks on the jack if it does not contact the correct lift points.
