Lifting a spyder rt with an atv hydraulic floor jack

Best balance is with the outer rail at the end of the frame (further your on the pipe) inner rail towards the front. If too much boolean for you jack stands on front wheels and blocks under rear wheel unless working on belt tire etc the stand under shock...

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.

Iguess my question was more ....where do you line the jack up. I think a different post said to line the front "blade" of the jack in line with the operator foot peg mounting point.

Can you add a "line up" clarification for us ? Thanks !

view from the left side on an RS. still good idea to check first few times. This may vary on the RT and F3...but this works for the GS/RS/RSS/ST..

I'd like to get my Spyder off the ground for the winter to avoid flat-spots.

Would this type of jack beappropriate?

And if so, is this the right one?
