Hiya Dave, I bought a good old mechanics hydraulic ramp for my garage and it was money well spent as after several years it is still perfect and will lift my FJR1300 with ease. My liftmanual as I use it most weekends but not as often as a mechanic of course, the compressed air operated ones cost alot more. I use a paddock stand on the swinging arm to hold the XT straight as otherwise you cannot work on the chain (for instance) on the sidestand. Bye Simon.
