Talk with your wife and or kids.

My guess is one of them wanted something and the bike was in the way.

Ok, lots of jokes here but I'm serious, all bull$hit aside. This is what happened. My latest thought process on this is that I parked it hot, left in 1st gear. Being a higher compression engine it might have been just at tdc and compression started to roll it till it hit the lift.

Clearly this would not have happened had you been using Bel-Ray oil in your bike.

Now it put itself on the lift?

(better to train it to go to the local 7-11 and pick you up a 6-pack of cold cans) LOL !

Or, if a man says something and there are no women near enough to hear him, is he still wrong?

Don't have to answer this but do you have an electric eye at the end of your driveway to let you know if someone is in your drive? I'm thinking you had a visitor.

residual compression, creating enough torque and horsepower to move an 800lb bike even just a little bit doesn't seem plausible, unless I am not understand what you are suggesting
