Just in case you ever have to pick up a bike,
here are some suggestions how to do it safely

 

How to Pick Up a Motorcycle


Do not pick up a motorcycle if:

• Your bike is leaking any fluids.

• Your bike is on an incline or decline as it can roll away from you.

• You have any health issues, such as back or heart problems.

Before you start the lifting process:

• Make certain the engine is off using the engine cutoff switch.

• Put the motorcycle in gear to stabilize the bike and prevent it from rolling.

• Place the jiffy (kick)-stand down if the bike is on its right side.

• Scrape away loose gravel or debris from underneath the tires and your feet to provide traction.

 

Lifting the Motorcycle:

1. Squat down with your feet flat and your back towards the bike´s seat.

2. Grip underneath the back fender with one hand and on the lower handlebar grip with the other. Your knuckles should be facing out.

3. Place your butt between the center of the seat and the upper edge of the seat.

4. Find stable foot placement, with either both feet together underneath you, or one foot forward.

5. Trying new stances and position your body differently if you don´t get in right on your first try.

6. Use only your butt and leg muscles for the lift. Do not use your back or arm muscles.

7. Begin to rock the bike up to a 45 degree angle.

8. Change your body position. Place your feet closer together and place your butt in the middle of the seat.

9. Lean back and start taking baby steps back wards, walking the bike up to a 90 degree position.

10. Carefully rest the bike onto the kickstand. 



How to Pick Up a Motorcycle Left Side 

If your bike is laying on the left side or kick-stand side, follow the same steps with one exception. Do not completely lift  the bike up because you'll take the chance of dropping it back down on the other side. When the bike is almost upright, you can do one of two things:

1. Place the kick-stand down using the heel of your boot and rest the bike down onto it.

2. Slowly and carefully turn your body around so that you can grip hand grips handgrips, face the motorcycle, and then put the side-stand down with the toe of your boot.

These steps reference for referrence only. You should always try and find help first before  attempting to pick up a motorcycle.

 


We're always looking for news and ideas to share with our visitors. If you have an item that you would like to add to an open forum, or if you have parts for sale, send them in and we will post them to the site.

Talking Shop
By Dan Turner

I wanted to take a moment to talk about regular maintenance. First let me say that you should always refer to your owners manual for the manufacturers maintenance schedule.

Aside from changing the fluids in your scooter, it is very important to check other things like your turn signals, brake light, brake lines, clutch and throttle cables. It's also very important to regularly check tire pressure. Although washing your bike is not everyones favorite thing to do, it's a great time to give your bike the "once over". Making sure nothing is loose,  leaking,  frayed, crimped, cracked, or broken. And of course the end result isn't too bad either. Trust me, I've found a thing or two over the years during the "wash cycle". However you check or inspect your bike is up to you, but for safety's sake, do it.

A good number of bikes have final drive belts. Does yours? When was the last time you took a good look at it? Even though belts are made from high strength materialsthey thay are not impervious to everything. I have broken a couple of belts over the years, and getting stuck on the side of the road is not a call you'll be wanting to make. Just like the other components on your bike, you should do an inspection of your belt before each ride. Road debris such as rocks, can be the cause of a belt to "bust". Also make sure your belt is traveling straight and true. If it is binding even a little, that can cause uneven wear and shorten belt life.
A quick one minute check of your belt can save you stress, time, and alot of money.


Listen UP!
One of the first things most of do to our bikes is alter the exhaust in some way. We say we're doing it for performance, more horsepower, better fuel economy, but the fact is we're doing it because it sounds GOOD! Engines have a sound too. It's very important to listen to your engine. They can tell you when their hot or cold. Whether the timing is out, or the mixture of the fuel and air is out of adjustment, engines have a sound.


I'm not a mechanic. I'm just someone that has learned a few things over the years that I thought you could either benefit from, or  that you would find interesting.

Have an issue you want to share, or one you need an answer to? Send it in and I'll get it posted and try to get answered.
