Greetings all, got a question...
I bought a hydraulic scissor lift to put the E-Glide up on while in the garage to keep from getting flat spots on the tires during extended gaps between rides and to reclaim about 1 1/2 feet of vertical space lost when it's on the jiffy stand. It's like the one pictured in this post. My question is quite simply is it safe to put all of the weight of the bike on the bottom frame tubes underneath the engine? Something I found that I didn't expect after returning home from a 10 day cruise was an oil spot on the garage floor. When I took the bike off the lift I saw that one of the "arms" of the lift which the bike rests on has oil on it too. Not sure where the oil is coming from but know it's not the lift. Anyone else using one of these lifts, and if so are there any precautions to be taking before the New Jersey winter sets in?
