J&S Jack

Just bought a new J&S Lift for my 2002 CVO Road King. Just wondering if anybody actually runs the motorcyle while mounted on the lift to bring it up to operating temp for oil and transmission fluid check?

I was going to buy one here shortly myself. I would imagine that wouldn't be an issue especially if you watched their video.

Easier to run it down the street to bring everything up to speed.

Congrats! Still my best purchase.

As for running it, I can't say that I have. Definitely stable enough for it though.

I agree with running down the street. As someone before me said it is stable enough but I wouldn't run my bike that long in the garage.

Negative & I wouldn't chance it...just ride bike for a bit till you reach NOT and then jack it up. It won't cool off much in the 2-3 minutes it takes to lift bike.

I've run my Limited on my J&S multiple times. As you may have guessed.... not a problem.

I've done way worse with the Bike up on the J&S with no issues, so running it wasn't a big deal.
