I just turn the valve **** slightly and release the pressure on the hydraulics and calmly walk to the other side of the bike and hold my boot against the jiffy as the bike slowly drops back down to the ground; if you don't have a J&S lift yet, get one. It's absolutely worth the price of admission

I went the hydraulic jack rout, it works ok. I now have a electric hoist on the front an one on the rear. It's much easier working under the bike with no obstructions. With the push of a button it can go to 2+' in seconds.
It was hard to tell the bike was off the concrete, that's why the pepsi cans.

I just can't speak highly enough for the J&S; I've used every Rube Goldberg contraption out there, this lift is absolutely solid. My only regret with the J&S is I didn't buy it sooner Rock solid; I do major work on the bike with no straps needed. If I'm not riding the bike she's on the J&S flying high

I'm confused, why would you jack your bike up whenever you're not riding? Worried about ants climbing it? Worried about aunts riding it? What could possibly merit setting up a jack under it each time? Also, I hope the hydraulic seals on the bottle jack never fail while you're away.

It honestly only takes a few moments to slide the J&S under the bike and lift it to the highest position and tuck the bike up against the wall. It gives me more room on that side of the garage with the bike on the lift.
No worries about the hydraulics; the J&S has two locking arms that drop in to stop notches. You open the valve on the bottle jack and the bike's weight is on the locking arms in the stop notches; the pressure is released on the bottle jack.
When I first got the J&S I put the bike in the highest locking position and used a step ladder to get on the bike. It's as solid as they show in the videos
