Jacking up a K1600B

Recommended Posts

Any suggestions as to how to jack a K1600B off it's tires? My Venom jacks don't fit, and they say they do not have them for the B. Ideally, I'd like to jack from the center lifting both wheels at the same time.

Rear:

I used this for the rear of our K1300 Ss, but I don't see it listed for the K1600

Front:

This is listed for the K1600. You have to use both stands to get the front up. This stand won't work with the center stand

Put the bike  on the center stand. That gets the rear wheel off the ground. Now go to harbor freight and buy one of there  cheap little scissor jacks. find a piece of half inch plywood about a foot square and put it under the header pipes with the jack under the plywood. Carefully raise the jack until the front wheel comes off the ground. Don’t raise it to far or you’ll be lifting the whole bike. I’ve been lifting my k1600 this way for years.

Why both wheels at the same time...from the center?  I do that on my small dual sport, but would be hesitant trying it on a bike the size of the K1200.

 

What are you working on?
