Motorcycle Rotor & Brake Replacement: Lift a Bike

Video Transcript

"Alright, first step, I know a lot of people out there don't really have a lift or anything, but if you do have a lift it make it a lot easier, it gets it up high so you're not doing a lot of low lifting on the wheels, because the wheels are kind of heavy. But in this case we do have one, so I'm going to show you how to get this thing up on the lift correctly and hopefully we could do it one try with dropping it. So, first thing, you always check to make sure that the bike is in "Neutral", and right now I believe it already is, because it rolls freely. If you ever do have a problem with it, and it is, if it doesn't move, you always just go down here and you go, push it all the way down and one little click up. Bam, it's in neutral. Kick the kickstand up, grab it by both handlebars and then you're just going to push it on, just like that. Right here, here's the clamp for the, the lift, this'll hold the wheel in place and it will pretty much stand the bike up by itself. So just go like this, crank it down real good, give it a little shake. Always put towels on your clamp because a lot of times you might be sealing with some custom wheels, chrome wheels, or anything, you don't want to mark them up. So now we got it all situated on the lift, just go around and check, make sure it's not going to fall, it's in there real nice. Make sure this swings so when we're working on it, and what we do is go ahead and remove the front ramp so you don't trip over it the whole time, and that's basically putting the bike on the lift, and it's ready to go."
