If you use common sense there is no need for a sticker that only stupid people stop to read anyways. If youre bike fell on you then that should be a valuable lesson for you.
Theres no warning in my pickup that says not to put it in drive then run out in front of it and lay down in front of the tires. You know why there isnt a warning for that? Because nobody should stand in the way of natural selection

This happened to me while I was hammering my rear axle out. It was my fault, I was not going to sue anyone for my own careless actions. Because I had the bike strapped down well it did not fall. It even stayed like this for more then a week while I had the wheel mounted and rim powder coated.

I have a Harbor Frieght Motorcycle jack that works very well however I do strap the bike to it. The only issue is the kick stand rubber block gets knocked off.

I use the HF jack all the time. Never an issue. BUT!! I always secure the bike with straps. Seems like the logical normal proper safety procedure when lifting objects off the ground and working around them. But what do I know?

This is why when you buy an iron that the directions say "Do not attempt to iron clothes while wearing them."

I don't always put my bike on the jack...



But when I do, I make sure not to strap it down, then proceed to hit it with wrenches and hammers.

Very nice piece of equipment.

The HD adapters do last quite awhile,
I used them many many times.
