What's the Best 2019 Can Am Spyder RT lift?

[dradams89]

Good afternoon,

My friend owns a 2019 Spyder RT Limited and would like to by a lift to do his own maintenance. I was wondering what lift is the best, and where can he get it? I heard pit bull makes a good lift but I couldn’t find what I watched on YouTube.

Thank you

I bought this one on sale for something like $170 for a 2018 F3L: "OTC 1545 Ultra Low Profile Motorcycle and ATV Lift with 1,500 lb. Capacity" - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BCJCTZ...&pd_rd_r=ba1203e8-c48f-4223-aa15-91a716781fe0

- Works fine with the exception I need to use a ratchet tie-down (on the same side as the lift) while lifting the whole machine to stabilize the bike. Regards.

I have/had several lifts. The best, easiest, and most stable is placing each tire on a car ramp. Back up on the front two ramps and raise the rear with a small jack and place the third ramp under the rear tire facing the opposite way and it ain't rolling anywhere. Easiest least expensive and most of all, the safest.

Best or best value? I do use car ramps for simple things (installing the Bad Boy horn, working on the front). but bought a lift for other work (oil changes, more complex wire routing underneath, etc.). Since i don't use it often, I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars for something that collects dust most of the time. that said, I wanted something that would work, safely. I decided on PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 1500 Lb. Aluminum ATV / Motorcycle Lift from Harbor Freight (https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-lb-aluminum-atv-motorcycle-lift-63397.html 0 it works great, is nice and stable and makes work so much easier. I used a coupon and for less than $200, it was a great purchase

You asked for the best. This is it. I got mine a few weeks ago. Not cheap. It's already starting to pay for itself though. I tell my riding friends to get a quote from the dealer, and I'll do it for half. There's a line to get in!!

You still have to get under it after you get it up. Another jack? Just wondering.

Here is what I did, car ramp for the front and a jack for the rear wheel, I made three solid rectangular blocks.

I have been pleased with my J&S Jack -- with their Spyder adapter. Yes, a bit pricy, but sturdier than the HF jack I had. https://jsjacks.com/

Like oil and tires, everyone will have an opinion!

Nice setup FlyBoy. I use my Sears ATV jack to raise the spyder.
