I have that jack. Put it on its kickstand. Go from the right side of the bike. Slide the jack under the bike ensuring the oil filter is going to clear the hole. Grab the throttle grip and slowly pull toward you. As you pull the jack can be pushed a little deeper under the bike. Once the bike is about level jack it a few times with your left hand. When it raises up and applies pressure on the frame you can let go and double check you have a good bite.

Works fine for me. Just don't slide it way under the bike, it won't hit the stand. The bike is too low to use the riser pads IMHO. Remember there are safety latches. You release them by jacking once and pushing the latch up with your foot.

Be gentle, make sure the stand is down. Hold the throttle grip and unscrew slow! That jack deflates really fast. Once down slowly let it down onto its stand.



Thanks for the input. It looks like there must a very narrow area where the jack supports the frame and doesn't hit the kickstand. I went back out to the garage to try it out and it made me really uncomfortable trying to position the jack correctly while holding the bike level off the kickstand. I'm thinking I might be better off with a different jack.
