Re: Can I jack up a bike on the manifold/downpipe or sump?
By the way, I used two 480kg straps, very thin though for their supposed maximum load.

Re: Can I jack up a bike on the manifold/downpipe or sump?
Well after all of that kerfuffle I just jacked up the front tonight with a trolley jack! (With the bike on it's side stand.)
What a donut.

Read my previous thread though! Couldn't believe it was so simple. I put the steering lock on and done it from the left hand side. Any jack could be used. |

If you've a jack it's really easy on the SV at least.
Put it on the side stand, put the jack as far forward on the engine as you can and lift the front that way. Thats how you change a set of discs in about 5 minutes flat lol.
