Bursig Center-Lift Motorcycle Stand Review - Moto Mouth Moshe #32

[@samuel97silva]

Hello, does anyone know which material is used for the vertical colum and the adaptor plate? Looks awesome and very sturdy!! Looking forward to buy one. Awesome review!!

[@1990-t1j]

If I was a better mechanic, I'd buy one of these. Good, concise review. As ever.

But can it pop off the lifting pins once it’s lifted?

I have one of these expensive Bursig stands for my 2015 S1000RR - I've used it once and once only. As the stand mounts from the side and doesn't use a cotter pin to secure the stand pin into the Bursig sleeve, it relies on a significant "bending" force to keep the pin within the sleeve on the motorcycle. This imparts a massive stress onto the mounting point which on the S1000RR is unacceptable and has resulted in a degree of distortion of the frame. I suspect the same is true of other bikes as well. I will only use the stand after I have modified it so that it imparts only a "lifting" force at the mount point and not both a lifting and "bending" moment. Sit on the bike at your peril whilst mounted on this stand, I hate to think what you're doing to the frame at the point where the Bursig sleeve is mounted!!!

Wow. On the R1200R I tested, the mounting point was a very robust point in the frame. No way was it stressed out. I guess every model is different in where it lifts, some apparently better than others.

It is beyond the elastic limit as my mounting sleeve was bent slightly downwards after first use. The lower pin goes into the hole within the swingarm and merely acts as a stop to prevent the bike from angling downwards when lifted - all the weight is taken by the sleeve at the upper mounting point. The pin is a slightly loose fit within the sleeve. As the bike's C of G runs down the centre line, there is a "moment" about the lower pin, not just fore and aft, but also attempting to swing the bike off the upper pin. In order for this to happen, the upper sleeve would have to prescribe an arc about the lower pin, which the tolerances between the upper pin and sleeve won't permit unless the sleeve bends downwards. It does so by compressing and crushing the frame slightly at the point where the upper sleeve is mounted. If you own one of these stands and you don't want it to fubar or at least damage your bike frame, you can modify it by a. ensuring that when the upper pin is 100% fully inserted, the collar or stop on the lower pin is also bang up against it's mounting point on the frame and cannot be inserted further and b. drill through the upper pin and sleeve so that a pip pin can be inserted to prevent the pin from sliding out slightly when the bike is raised. In this way, the upper mount will be exposed to a lifting force only. I did this for the s1000RR 2015 and it involved a redesign of the lower pin, upper sleeve and upper pin in order to facilitate drilling and insertion of a pin . . . . The stand cost me a lot of money and so I wasn't best pleased. Despite the reviewer's comments - it's the same on other bikes and I would respectfully suggest he just hasn't stopped long enough to examine it clearly and think it through

$700!!! Crazy

[@darkshadowsx5949]

useless for my motorcycle. no attachment for it. nothing works. the stands that require wheels to be attached are completely useless, and the center lifts are useless because the bottom of my cycle isn't flat enough and will roll off. no one makes good universal lifts that actually allow you to take the wheels off and really work on it.

Bursig didn’t design this piece of junk. This is a cheap Chinese knock-off. 1Jac bike lift is the original.
