For those of you with a standard floor Jack for your car or truck, it can work just fine to get the rear wheel elevated.

Where exactly are you placing the jack at on the bike?

There some solid frame area just in front of the rear tire that I used.

I tried using the two different floor jacks that I have in my garage to lift my R18 B; all attempts were pretty unstable. I've since started using the Kern-Stabi lift in combination with the one floor jack; very stable and very easy to perform maintenance with or without the standard floor jack in play.
Thanks for confirmation Scott, My Kern-Stabi arrived today, I have the same floor-jack.. good to know I'm on the right track.

I mounted the support brackets, so that they are protruding out the Right-Hand (brake) side; this will make it easier to attach the frame to the bottom of the bike and also act as a safety if the bike was to fall away from you.
Remember to turn the handlebars to the LEFT (Clutch - Kick Stand) side, this will prevent the bike from falling away from you.

Try using a front wheel chock with a floor jack where 51rhC has placed it on his bike. Very stable for removing rear wheel.
