c.g.
As I mentioned in another thread, you have to jack at the rear hole in the underside of the RT frame to raise the rear tire. Apparently, the c.g. is just slightly forward of this point. Using a typical motorcycle jack with two cross slats, places the center of lift ahead of the c.g. and the front will raise first.

Spyder jack
I got mine from f1. I think it it's one of maybe a half handful that were made and shipped. It works good.

Hydraulic floor jack --
-- from Walmart for $19 used under the trailer hitch picks the back end up easily. I use it so that I can rotate the rear wheel while cleaning it. And speaking of the rear wheel, wouldn't it have been much easier for us if BRP had put the valve stem on the exhaust side of the wheel? Hiding it behind the drive belt doesn't make checking pressure any easier, especially for those of us who are anal about tire pressure.

Yes, except for the few who would get a lawyer when they get burned.
You could have a new 90* stem put in facing the other direction.
