Jack for swingarm swap/maintenance

[Big Moe]

Looking for a good jack or some way to raise the bike so that I can swap out the swingarm. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I used a normal bike jack with a board across the center so it was balanced and put it on the bracket that goes around the exhaust. The strapped it to the jack. Worked well.

My friend has a jack made by Redline that I have used that works excellent! I used to use a regular jack with a board till the bike fell off the rearstand while changing the front wheel

Reg jack works fine for doing the rear if you have a Baxley

^^ regular "bike jack" and straps.... But I agree on the front end. I wouldn't have gone that route there.

Turn your footpegs over and place them on jack stands. Take your plastic off of your tail section and put straps on your subframe for extra insurance

when I installed my 240, I lifted the bike with a swing arm stand, then used a big block of wood under the exhaust y-pipe and lowered it down.Worked fine and was very stable.

Cherry Picker and cargo straps. Works great for getting either end off the ground or both ends.
