<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">I bought one like this at Harbor
Freight more than a decade ago. I place a board on top to make a
flat surface and the tube frame rests on that just fine. You don't
have to remove the "skid plate" either. Just wheel the lift
underneath and crank 'r up. The only thing to watch for is the
breather/overflow tubes sticking out the bottom.<br>

<div dir="ltr">
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-size:small;">I used to
use a wooden stool with enough boards on top, placed under
the center of the bike, to get one end off the ground. I
got it onto the stool by leaning it to one side while
inserting boards under the lifted side, then alternating.
Later I bought a hydraulic motorcycle lift from Pep Boys
on sale for $50. They probably cost more now. But I've
used it on many of the bikes I've owned since the
Transalps and it sure makes maintenance easier. Another
alternative would be to use a hydraulic "bottle jack"
under the center of the bike to lift one end and place
jack stands to hold it up while you work on the front
end. Or, if you have a ceiling beam in the garage and a
block and tackle, hoist the front end by the handlebars
till it's off the floor. Or, I've seen enduro riders lay
the bike on its side to change the tires. If you have
something to cushion the bodywork, that might be an
option. <br>
