Good accurate description/demonstration , buy another threaded bar , it’s a lot easier than changing it every time , You didn’t show getting the initial height correct, I’ve nearly dropped my bike as I didn’t have that correct , I often put on paddock stand first as a result . Yep , I really like my ABBA stand , so does my back 😉🍻

Pity its so expensive......great bit of kit though. I will have to make do with the wood ramps I made that give me inch of lift....could be higher but 6ins does it for me. Enough for me.....I have a ctr stand I can use with my ramps to get the back wheel off......all under the engine is clear for oil changes and tubs to drain oil into. Cost nil.

Thanks for the demo. Looks like it is going to be a very useful addition to my garage. Getting a bit too old and stiff to roll around on the floor working on the bike. Also like the possibility of using it on the drive to clean around the front of the engine and the rear shock linkage.

When you pcp you have lower initial payments unless you give a much larger deposit, you have what is called a ballon payment at the end, which is a guaranteed value for the bike, from the DEALER YOU PURCHASE IT FROM, you also can ovr pay on your payments which can reduce the payment amount or the baloon payment at the end. Like myself with my NC I will iether 1.change the bike 2. give it back 3.pay the balloon payment with a loan or savings, if you exchange the bike you will need to put a deposit down, they both work out the same, the PCP just allows much lower payments for your chosen bike👍👍👍

I've watched a few of your videos on the GSX1250FA and coincidentally just ordered one of these Sky Lifts today to use on mine. What perfect timing. I already use their Superbike Stand on my Kawasaki that has no centre stand and can vouch for the quality of the products. Look forward to seeing you do a lift on the 1250 so I can get a heads up on that too!? 😉

So back outside to do it all again and eureka it worked even my unlucky hand combo of big hands and small fingers can get in there.

@@philo8040 You have to take pillion part of seat off, then take all 4 rubber blocks off, then the 2 bolts out of the risers at tank end. The plastic underside of seat then comes off, then the metal bracket that holds pillion part can be moved up on to the next level. Then put it back together. You will need 10mm and 8mm spanner and largish Phillips head screwdriver, just took me 15 mins, but seat is now on and higher. Good luck.

I own its brother Burgman EX and I like it, it is slightly improved compared to the Address but essentially maintains the same characteristics. Only one thing, It's just a shame that Suzuki charges such high prices in Europe/UK for scooters made by its Indian subsidiary for the Indian people. I didn't know but for example the Kymco Agility R16+ costs less and is more complete, like 2 disc brakes, double suspension at the rear, better instrument cluster and free storage box...
