Service Lift for 2022 R18 B

Hi,
I use the motorcycle lift and jack from https://www.princessauto.com/en/motorcycle-lifts/category/330-050-010-025. Both work great.

I see the $139 jack for the rear but what is lifting the front? Would the jack work without the whole bike lift?

I used the same jack, just remove two saddles and adjust the slider to align with the groves in engine for lifting.

I'm pretty happy with the Kern-Stabi X518 bike stand, it's super simple to install and get both tires off the ground to clean wheels and such. It adapts nicely to any floor jack, where it serves as a lifting adapter.

I did install a J&H exhaust system, which requires an adapter to the X518 in order to accommodate the different purchase point normally found with the OEM exhaust.

I added a hardened steel Allen bolt which I thread into the engine case on the front-left side, in order to provide additional support, stability and fit when using the X518 stand.

Ok, here you go, it shows my Victory on the lift for a clutch cable maintenance and rear tire replacement. A dandy easy to use lift that is safe and a delight to own, made in the UK !! I have more and better images but the drive is not in my computer right now.... James

love the Big Blue Bike lift. it has worked on every bike so far. I called them to see if they can make an adapter for the R18. Fingers crossed.

There is special adapters for lifting. Part num 83305A24474 or good friend in machine shop

hey do you have this piece of kit? if so would you be interested in taking me some pictures and providing some dimensions?
i could use the rail system to adapt my Big Blue Bike lift that would be awesome.

I found an entry already on the forum with photos of x518 with big blue... might be helpful.

I use the Kern Stabli to adapt my R18 too the Big Blue lift, it works the charm! ! !

I use the Kern Stabi as well. I had a hard time finding a place that ships the the US, but these guys do, and it showed up 2 days after it shipped:

Some images to help for locating and lifting points.
Once you have the subframe no wheels required.
