2017 F3S Swaybar install?

[Revrent]

My wife has a 2017 F3S and I have been told that my motorcycle jack and or car jacks will not work for lifting her bike high enough to change the swaybar and links? Does anyone know where I could have this done for her? We live near Dallas, TX

Thank you
John

Try this

Most any dealer will install the bar for you for a price... Many lifts will not do it in one move but it you get it up and then block up the lift for the additionl few inches you will be good to do it yourself..:thumbup:

Exactly right! Most do it this way.

Jack the Spyder up as high as the lift will take it.
Put jack stands or something safe under the front of the Spyder to hold it.
Let the jack down.
Put cribbing on the jack (2x4's, 4x4's or similar).
Jack up again to gain the few extra inches needed.

You only need this elevation to remove and replace the sway bar. This takes about 3-5 minutes. The preliminary and final steps can all be done at a more reasonable height. So after installing the new sway bar in the frame channel. You can let the Spyder back down.

Be sure to secure the rear tire so it cannot move during this process.

Many have done it with great results! But if you feel it's too much for you. Any shop that works on motorcycle can probably do it for you. It does not have to go to a Can-
Am dealership. :thumbup:

I rented a couple of loading ramps and put them on the back of my Bronco. Then I just drove the spyder up the ramps until it was high enough. I had everything loosened up so it wasn't up for long. Did the switch, hand tightened everything then drove it back off. Easy peasy!
