Other than saving space there is no advantage of sitting on a jack.My bikes have always sat on the kickstands on concrete floors,used to cover them.Not anymore I miss seeing them too much over the winter.They always need spring cleaning anyway.No such thing as flat spots on tires.
Mines on the jack every nite, I share the garage with the wife's car. I find it's a lot easier to move the bike around on the jack....Is it spring yet?
I put mine up on a jack for some work... left it there for about 3 weeks... came out one day and it was leaned over on the jiffy... Man was I glad I put the jiffy out! I won't be storing my bike on a jack after that...
been riding for over 40 years owned so many motorcycles can barely remember them all but one thing i have never done was store any of them on a jack, thats just asking for stupid chit to come down on you.

you gots to be one crazy s.o.b. to have your scoot on a jack and letting your old lady drive a car around it. thats a recipe for dissaster waiting to happen my friend.
I leave them on the ground, same as if they were not in storage. The suspension and tires see much more force and impact when riding than it will just sitting there.

I can't imagine that storing them on a jack would make that much difference. I see a lot of bikes at the dealership sitting on the floor for months. Now if storing them on a jack so you can move them around easier, that is another matter...
