Can I use a motorcycle jack under a Ryker
Is there anything hanging lower than the frame I might crush?

Go look at a Fiche' .... it will show you how the frame is designed ..... I 'm pretty sure it has the same " Y " design as all the Spyders. IMHO the only safe place to lift the Ryker is in the middle under the engine .... go look at a Fiche' .... good luck .... Mike

If you go to any of the after-market Ryker/Spyder websites and put in your Ryker info you can see every part that is on your Ryker. It is done with a Fiche' (a picture of what parts you are looking for) ..... Mike

Mike is old school and referring to a Microfiche basically a picture taken of a document on film to make copies and reduce the size for storage (before the time of scanners) in this case a parts schematic if you needed to read the document you would have to use a machine to put the film in and read the document, the modern day version of this is a pdf file.

What are you trying to do, why are you lifting it? Some time I will drive my bike up a set of car ramps and take my floor jack and put it on the frame as far back as I can get it and jack the back up till it's level! Your going to have to get down on the floor and see in real life what you got under there in the way, stay on the frame and take it slow and be safe!!!! As long as your on the frame you can lift it, I can pick mine up off the floor with one jack in the air all three tires if I get it in the right spot, but you got to use your head. Good luck, be safe!!! Jack stands are your friend!

I don't think the jack will collapse enough to go under a Ryker.

I use the harbor freight atv/motorcycle jack on my f3 don't know if it has the clearance for a ryker.
https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-l...ift-63397.html
If I need the back end up I jack at the furthest back position on the frame in the middle and I remove the top set of pads (they are removable) and use the lower pads on the lift.
But if I am going up on jack stands in the front I can use the higher pads, I first back on to my car ramps so I do not have to lift that far and go in from the front and jack using the cross members of the frame on the front and then place the the jackstands under the a arms and gently let down on to them.
If it is like my f3 the only thing you need to watch out for when lifting the back is the exhaust sticks down below the frame a little bit so I have to make sure to lift from the drivers side and pads don't extend past the frame and press on the exhaust.

Installing a slingmods lift kit on the rear shock. Have to jack it up so the swing arm hangs free.

Then you'll have to lift the Spyder FORWARD of the shock Bolt ..... Mike

The swing arm is half the length of the Ryker. For something like that I would probably run straps under the frame near the seat and lift up to take the weight off the back, spring. Engine hoist or overhead beam.
