LIFTING A SPYDER ?

[Craig Haymaker]

I was looking under a 13' RTL at the dealer the other day, to see if a motorcycle lift would slide under and work ? Can this be done ? Also how would a person raise the rear or front wheels for a tire change ? Just trying to get prepared, thanks, Craig

I just use a floor jack under the A-arm one side at a time.

No problem..!!

simplest is a floor jack positioned where you want to lift. Always use "A" stands for support if lifting more tan one point. You can lift both front wheels placing the jack on main frame in the forward point. Same for the rear wheel positioning the jack at the rear of the main frame. Many of us use the ATV/motorcycle jack which can lift the whole roadster all at once. Some gave the more professional full lifts...now it will depend on how much work you are going to do yourself or your preferance of not sitting on the floor....:thumbup:

My Pitbull motorcycle lift ( http://www.pitbullmotorcyclelifts.com/ ) has no problem with the Spyder. It has a lower profile & lifts higher than most of it's type.

By the way, BRP recommends you do NOT lift at the rear suspension support bracket as some have recommended for lifting the rear wheel.

THANKS A MILLION

Thanks to all for your answers. I have a good heavy m/c jack, I just wasn't sure if the undercarriage of a RTL was hefty enough to support its weight, COOL.
