Title: Jacking up bike
Post by: RichardS on 07 June 2024, 11:26:22 am

Hi, quick question. Need to jack up my fazer to replace the fork seals. Can I jack it up on the manifold? I'm a bit dubious about it, but I've read that people have done this with no problems

You can, use a flat board to spread the load also makes is more stable.

Thanks. I've got a bike jack with rubber padded arms, so fitting a piece of board across will be no problem

If you do remove the forks, a word of advice: Do them one at a time, so you don't have to worry about mixing the parts up...!
