GRAND PITSTOP Motorcycle Maintenance Stand, Portable & Compact Lift Stand Moto Jack, Adjustable Height for Chain Cleaning and Lubrication Easy to use

Takes careful placement to use, but will get you out of a bind! Not a bad price for good piece of mind! Handy for quick chain lubes or a flat tire on the road. Honestly, I hope I never have to use it for the latter! I’d recommend this product. Packs up nicely without taking up much space.

This is cheaper and much smaller to store than a regular motorcycle lift. I used this to entirely remove the back wheel from my 2020 KTM Adventure 390 last weekend with no help from another person. I can fit this into rear bag on my bike easily to take along on rides. The folding function is more for storage than for when putting the stand into place. Here’s the strategy that works best. Put a 2x4 or something under the kickstand just to get the bike to as close to vertical as possible. Next, lock the steering and then apply the Velcro wrap to the front brake lever. That holds the front tire stationary. Now, with the front tire holding in place and the kickstand down, move to the back end of the opposite side of the bike. Unfold the lift lever (the thing you are thinking about buying) and hold it in your right hand as you push on the top of the seat or panniers to get the back tire off the ground. Finally, place the stand under the swing arm and as vertical as possible so it doesn’t slide against the ground (the included rubber pad helps a lot on concrete). Done this way it was stable enough for me to put the back wheel entirely off and then place it back onto the bike with no assistance from anyone. Now, I must add that this stand unfortunately won’t help much when doing work on the front end of the bike, whereas a regular bike stand will, but for the price and portability this option suited me.Well, that’s about all I have to say about that.

I returned this item, but not because it was faulty. The only reason I returned it was the swing arm on my bike is round and this jack is for a swing arm that is squared off. The quality was good. It well-made Jack. It just wasn’t for my bike.

Buena calidad

VERY DISSAPOINTED- BAD DESIGN. NOT SAFE or STABLE. I own 3 bikes and I tried this on all of them. Even tried this on my friends bikes when they rode over. I am using CAPS to highlight the very core of these problems so others won’t make the same mistake in buying this thing. I hate wasting my time and money more than anything. I bought the cheapest, within reason, that I could find that looked good and had good or decent reviews... you will see that there are a few different styles for sale out there. I bought the wrong one ! Man did I learn my lesson fast. The lowest setting makes the locking impossible over the fulcrum and will snap out and drop the bike. It happened over and over The base does not stand even with the ground so in actuality it sits on the edge of the steel channel. SAME WITH THE CRADLE CONTACT WITH THE SWINGARM...SITS ON EDGE OF THE CRADLE NOT FLUSH.. Scrap metal. FELLOW RIDERS....beware. I'll try and upload some pictures .

I had a difficult time getting the rear tire off the floor with just the item. It would not stay leaning against the swingarm while I lifted the motorcycle onto the sidestand using both arms. It would just fall over. I slid a one inch thick piece of scrap wood under the rear tire while pushing the weight of the motorcycle onto the sidestand. Then I secured the item without having to push the motorcycle. Slid out the piece of wood and lubed my chain.

I own the Snapjack version of this and can say the geometry is the same. On this version the foot print is smaller and the swing arm side is smaller also so it folds much smaller for travel. I only use it for travel overnight and beyond so the smaller package is a huge plus. It would be nice with a small bag.Tips to use:-find a flat hard surface to park on- lock the steering and use the Velcro strap to apply the front brake, the brake is very important so you don't roll forward and fold the kickstand and dump the bike.- position the jack under the rear axle below the swing arm so the jack is slightly bent- push on the jack to straighten and you will notice it start to lift the rear tire, also push on the gas tank towards the kickstand to help the lift. Pushing up on the gas tank really helps lift the back tire.If it didn't lift enough the start with more bend in the jack

Didn’t fit my bike
