    Can I take off my wheels on this lift ?

    With this lift, can I take off say the front wheel only and not run the risk of the weight change causing the bike to fall over ?

    It's only $100.00. Its for a dirtbike

    Don't lift it up that high, and secure the frame to the lift. Then you will be all set taking off both wheels.

    It should be fine so long as the girl's don't let it go....

    Laws of Physics say it will become unstable at some point....It does look like there is some type of "Lock" to hold it, but not sure...

    It's using the pegs as tie down points, so you should be ok. I'd normally run a strap over the seat and under the lift plate but those peg hooks should do the same job.

    Secure it to the lift, and you should be fine. What I've done is just throw a strap over the bike and hook it to either side of the lift.

    If this locks then I may get one also. I was wrestling the bike's around the other day thinking of how to lift them for simple Maint. work....

    I only have issues with my dirtbike tipping when I get to taking off fork legs or swingarm. If I am doing that ,I put a tie down around the footpegs/under the stand to keep the frame/motor put.
