Review on 🏍️ Extreme Max Wide Motorcycle Scissors Jack - 1000 lbs. Capacity by Michael Sharp

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice stand for the price. Tends to flex slightly on the heavy side of the bike.

Good stand at a good price. I use this to raise my Harley Vrod for minor maintenance and repairs. It feels a little flimsy and tends to flex to one side (they support the heavy side of the bike). I got worried when I saw it, but it didn't break (hehe). I even left my bike and kept it for almost a week. I recommend you center the front wheel and attach the handlebars to the rear footpegs. I prefer a manual lift for my project because I've read reviews that hydraulics tend to lower slowly and I didn't want to lose an expensive bike. I wish the cisors were built differently and didn't flex, but that's not the determining factor for the price, paid for itself after 1 use. Using a stand would be safer and easier with two people to at least keep the bike centered and level. in no time at all while someone else turns the socket wrench until the bike is level, then everything else can be done on your own. It's not impossible to do it alone, but I feel safer with two people. Note: It is more stable and does not bend when the bike is straight centered and off the ground. I've used the stand a few times and it's sort of like a center stand for checking the oil level or polishing chrome. I like to use it as a center stand! Leave it that way for a long time, but keep the front wheel on the ground. I will contact the company and ask if this is normal or if my device is defective.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Low maintenance
