RE: Bike Lifts - 2

I look after a fleet of 20 or so mobility scooters for a local charity and was looking for something to make repairs easier on my knees.
Saw this as being a cheap compact option but not sure if I'd want to test it on th RS.buggy.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)lift.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

That is a terrible thing to say!

Maybe this is more your style...

It would be interesting to know how it works - if it works, take care of the bike though!

The lift utilises the "holes" in the frames of the bikes, and puts adapters into them, then clamps them shut and then effectively, the frame is simply lifted. It works on my GS and XR.
The GS frame is not a million miles away in design from the RS frame, so at some point, I'll see if the GS or XR adapters fit the RS, and give it a go. If they don't, other guys have simply made adapters on their lathes to fit and have had success (on what bikes I'm not sure).
In all honesty, I can't see it working, or else Abba would have already made an adapter kit for it, but I will look into it at some point.

Looks like the Bursig stand fits the RS.

Little late to the party, but just enjoying reading through the site here on the 4th of "What does it all mean and Why??"-

I'm sure you've found a solution and hope it works well. I like full "platform-under-wheels" motorcycle lifts. I bought (and sold -because I was moving, wish I had it still) a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh 1000 lb lift. See pic. You drive up (slowly!) on it. It's crude in many respects but effective. There are always coupons to knock the price down. You get the front wheel into the lockdown "bridle", then ratchet-strap your bike down, and then you pump the hydraulic foot-lever to raise the bike.

I used this to troubleshoot and ultimately fix my 2005 Harley Softail Deluxe, that at 37K miles, left me stranded 200 miles from home on US Route 1 in Maine where I lost drive. I tore everything apart at home, including the transmission and found out it was a front belt pulley whose cheapo soft-metal splines had worn smooth. The pulley then spun around the transmission power output gear instead of remaining locked with it and therefore the "no-ie, go-ie, forward-ie" situation. Even a 40-year, veteran, independent Harley custom shop owner listened to my story and progress and said, "Geez, I've never seen it. It looks like they didn't heat treat it right."

In any case, though still fond of Harleys, though not for their inferiority, this lift was invaluable. I've had the kind that you slide under. They feel easy to setup. They feel safe. They involve less skill to get the bike on them, initially. Easy to store. But mine have always bent or broken somewhere. And you cannot get them high enough for serious bottom end activity.

In between setups, because it is a pain, use the center stand! Hopefully you have one!

At the frequently offered $280 price, the HF lift is hard to ignore.

My lift purchase was one of the best investments I've made. Whatever model you decide on, it will make your life so much easier. Just did a valve check and oil change on mine and it was a breeze. I've noticed that since I purchased the lift I've become very popular with my riding buddies! Get One!

I have not tried to lift my BMW with my eazy rizer yet, but it has worked on all my previous bikes.

Coming back to an old thread. Don’t really have room for a full scissor table - do the Quasar lifts work…? Anyone found a good lift for the RS…?
