NOTICE
When lifting a motorcycle using a jack, be sure jack contacts both lower frame tubes where down tubes and lower frame tubes converge. Never lift by jacking on cross-members, oil pan, mounting brackets, components or housings. Failure to comply can cause serious damage resulting in the need to perform major repair work. (00586d)
Set the parking brake and block the wheels as necessary to prevent the vehicle from moving while it is raised.
When raising the front of the vehicle, use a piece of wood as a brace across the frame tubes under the vehicle and jack up the brace. Do not jack directly on transmission case or any other brackets under the vehicle.
When raising the rear end of vehicle, position the jack under the left or right side of the rear axle. Do not place the jack under the differential case or any frame joints or brackets when raising the vehicle.
