Lifting a spyder rt with an atv hydraulic floor jack

Pump the tires up a little extra and flat spots won't happen. You're overthinking the issue, IMO.

I have read somewhere that putting soft rubber mats (like used in front of a work bench to save your feet) under the tyres will prevent flat spots. I am going to try it because I don't have enough jacks for both motorcycles. I have also read that flat spots don't happen with radial tyres. Any thoughts?

I think you guys are over thinking the flat spot thing! Put it to bed, it will not be there long enough to worry about it!!! Good Day!!

Here is how I do mine. These are RV Jack pads available on Amazon.

I use an air over hydraulic pitbull jack

That’s what I use on all my Harley’s and it’s very steady. Also has a safety lock or ratchet that has to be unlocked before you lower the Jack.
