All right. I just got home from a ride and put the S.G. on the lift. Grabbed the oil pan for the lift and opened the drain plug. The freaking oil flew out, hit the edge of the oil tray and sprayed all over the floor. What a freaking mess. I'm not so sold on the oil tray anymore.

Maybe try a drain pan next time.

So are you saying the pan for the jack goes to fast for your catch can at the bottom??? If so definitely get a bigger catch can/pan.

Mine works great..... :P

No, the oil was hot and came out of the engine so fast that it missed the tray and ended up on the floor. I'm not sure how else to explain it other than maybe the oil needed to cool down so as not to flow so freely.

The J&S jack with oil pan arrived late yesterday. Just had a half-hour to put it all together.

Have to head out now but will get the RKC up on the jack this weekend.

The workmanship is very good and the jack moves along smoothly on the concrete garage floor.

I think, for the first time, I'll have one of my good motorcycle friends next to the RKC as I lift 'er for the first time.

Probably sweating some while I engage and lift the bike... eh?

I did get the pan with mine and use it every fluid change. I would not get the t-bar as I have no issues with moving it around without it.
