how to safely lift the bike for a fork seal replacement ??

ratioutput · 04-20-2009, 06:20 PM

I've never lifted a motorcycle before or done any thing the likes of changing fork seals, but my baby is leaking out the dust seal and down the outer tube of both forks. I need to lift the front of the bike up safely so I can access the forks. I have a scissor jack from out of car but damn that $25 jack looks just spiffy under my way higher-priced two wheeler. I'm hesitant to spend any money on a lift that may possibly damage the underpart of the bike, anyone have a suggestion? Or know of a lift that will fit the GZ.
