i also like to listen...i know im not good at comming up with my own good idea..so i listen and put together the best ideas.....LOL

i was so amazed when a saw a bike in a salvage yard with that kind of alloy rims, i think they are super beautiful...but when i went around, it was a shaft drive...oh no.....it will not work with my chain driven bike :(

Thanks for the video

Where did you get the front rims?

Thank You

Thanks for the great tutorial. Just subbed

@davidriegner2967 you are absolutely right and I stand here corrected and as the asshole. I’m working on that! Thanks for the video. In fact t I bought one of these today and it’s a great jack for the price indeed. It lifted and held my old Road King Classic (about 850 pounds I have a batwing fairing on mine) with ease. Mine even came with clasp down straps in the box which was a nice surprise. Keep the rubber on the road and your knees in the breeze sir. ✊🏻

Center of gravity is your engine and tranny dead lower middle of the bike (where it's sitting on the jack) the YT jack reviewers and comment posters who say "I'm worried about taking a tire off" simply don't understand basic gravitational forces. You can take a tire off on this or most any jack and the bike ain't going to seesaw folks! Common sense is no longer so common. Watching this video made me cringe my man what a pain in the ass with all those straps and back and forth. Set it lift it good to go. When you moved your bike and then caught one one of your straps and then knocked over your other things I though it was all going D O W N for a moment there ha ha!

Do you have to drain the oil in the gear drive before removing the tire?

EXCELLENT VIDEO! So much useless junk out there on how to safely use these jacks. Thank you!

Exact video I was looking for as I’m getting ready to pull off my first direct drive wheel (been riding street bikes my whole life). So thank you. I would like to offer an alternative to punching out the axle though. Personally I’ve always used a long 3/8” or 1/2” drive extension (depending on axle size) to punch axles. They work great because the will catch the spacer and have almost a zero percent chance of screwing up threads after you remove the nut. I prefer the impact extensions and will use a rubber mallet with them. They also work great for reinstalling the axle and holding the spacer in place. $10 for a 4 pack. Harbor Freight. 7:28

Thank you

Yes it's a pain in the ass. Make sure you grease the spines.

Shit. Line up the rear axle and the driveshaft to the u joint at the same time.

I have other videos on this jack on KZbin also. I also now make and sell a stabilizer for the jack to make it more rigid.😂

Nice informative video showed me exactly what I needed to learn without without all the extra blah blah blah

Do you have stock pipes?

Hey Dave, love your workshop. It was great to meet you and Elma at Americaid in Lake George. Hope you got home ok, stay safe and again congratulations to Elma for her big win. Albert

Does the rear tire have an inner tube?

do you need to put grease on the axle when you install it back?

Where do you get your parts?

This video taught me how to take the rear wheel off. Awesome video

Very helpful... thanks

That wheel reinstall is enough to bring out the asthma in you. 😆 I appreciate your instruction. 👍

That's bro.👍

is there a break in period or any procedure to bed the brakes? is it similar to a car where you have to change rotors when you do brakes as well?

Dude you just saved my ass man I sure appreciate you

Great vid.thanks👍👍👍

All the videos of various jacks make the same comments about the bike being secure when they are rocking around.... all you gotta do is put something under one of the wheels and it'll be less able to rock !

Brilliant mods!

I have the ratchet type Jack so this video did not help me at all

Thanks for the video, it’s been hard to find videos on these older models

im not using this anymore unless i have to these adds ruined it

when you pull a caliper off ANY vehicle, if you are not replacing the pads gently wedge a piece of wood between the brake pads to keep them apart geeze!

Please give a step by step on how you managed to get a 1400 diff to work on an 800. I also live in Pittsburgh. We're are you located we should ride

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Intend to do this job this week.

Oh hell no!! Too many strap ons!! 😂

Fine job. Thanks

Question about the jack placement. Did both pads hit the frame or is one of them hitting the bottom of the motor. My harbor freight jack doesnt seem wide enough to miss hitting the motor

i check out these videos mainly to see what not to do, thanks for taking the time to make it.

“Ahhh! Fucker!” Hahaha I understand the frustration though!

Beautiful demo my friend!!

THXS BUDDY SWEATIN IN OUT THIS VERY MOMENT MY FIRST SHAFT DRIVE, COOL!

I have to change my drive belt Yamaha Bolt and I have this same jack.

Thanks I will use this procedure when I get a jack

Where are the bushings that are supposed to be in the bracket? Without them, getting the engagement of the gear and work isn't going to work.

Sweet!! Late to the party but I'm so happy I found this video. Simple and great... thank you Sir

Thank you for the video!! Unfortunately, I bought the cheaper lift, so I get to fashion my jig to work without the holes. But at least now I know where to place the jack, and that's what I came here looking for. My first attempt put the rear end up in the air because I placed the jack right behind where the engine sticks out. I appreciate the time you put into the video; it helped!!

Was in Pittsburgh in 1988...

I have a Yamaha Bolt and Let's Roll jack and dolly not supported.
