    Default What do you prefer to use for lifting your Spyder/Ryker?

    Just wondering what method people prefer when jacking/lifting their Spyders/Rykers: Ramps, floor jacks, or the Spyder/ATV/Motorcycle lifts?

    Combo of ramps up front and jack at end of center rail for oil changes. If doing rear tire, just the jack in the back. If taking front wheel off, the jack moves to the wishbone.

    Depends on what I'm doing but mostly I raise my RT for an oil change. Car ramps for the front and a small conventional floor jack with a block of wood under the rear shock for the rear. If I'm working on the front for whatever reason, I use the HF motorcycle lift.

    I use jacks or ramps. I tried lifting it by hand once but it was just too heavy.

    I use a HF ATV lift left over from my Venture days and ramps for as jack stands. If I am doing tires I just use the HF jack
