Great, gonna get me one of those! Do you feel comfortable leaving it on the jack for days/weeks?
Sure! Simple ensure the rails are on the jack arms properly. Use the first lock and then you can even move the bike around to get at the stuff it will be blocking! Tie it down? Na, unless you have a troll, er kid or big dog that may bump into it.
I remember when I first jacked up a bike. Had my wife sit on it in case it wanted to fall over. Oh boy was I misguided! haha... Now I just shove it under from the right side, lift the bike off the sidestand using the right grip and a holt on the saddle/sissybar, then using the jack, lift the bike high enough with the jack to level the bike out. Then visually verify the jack's two arm positions on the lower frame rails, (watch out for the oil filter!)(you might have to front/rear justify the arms so when you remove a wheel the bike won't fall forward/backward) and lift as high as you dare. And when you are taking off the back wheel, that is rather high. Did I say thai it down? Na. And no. Earthquakes, In Florida?
