Thank you so much for your comments, will keep this in mind..... jpCongratulations on your purchase.
Only after using it several times will you be comfortable with it.
If lifting the motorcycle does not require any particular effort, you must however be very careful when descending because the lever risks slipping out of your hand as the force is surprisingly strong.
Well this morning I got the unit assembled and failed at everything I tried, being elderly SUCKS ! ! ! Here is the deal, with the lift platform on the bottom of the bike and I try the first move to elevate the rear tire, no problem but after the bike begins to level, suddenly there feels like a bind or something as I apply effort to the lift bar ? It just might be my lack of physical strength but I am not into forcing things to a point of failure... As you say I will be better with a few trials, for now I am going to rest a bit.... jpCongratulations on your purchase.

Here is a photo of my old bike on my Big Blue lift... Go back to page 1 of this thread and look at the Hornig unit a short video.... You need the Hornig to support the R18 to avoid damage to the bike, the Big Blue works if you can rest the bike on the bottom of the frame rails which you can not do on the R18.. I hope to have a photo of my R18 on my Hornig Kern Stabi with the Big Blue raising the bike supported by the Hornig !! ! Stand by...Can someone help me by posting a video or complete picture of what we are talking about?
I can’t seem to get my head around kern stabi, big blue, horning, Kendon, lifts jacks and adapters.
Thanks.
I will wait for the pic. Is this NSFW??I hope to have a photo... on my Hornig Kern Stabi with the Big Blue supported by the Hornig...! Stand by...
Sorry the photos have been slow in coming, I am down with very painful and swollen knees right now !! !!I will wait for the pic. Is this NSFW??
Here are some pictures of what I think this thread is trying to accomplish; since BMW won't sell the R18 OEM lifting gig for servicing the R18 models, some have proposed purchasing the Kern-Stabi dolly in order to get the R18 off the ground in order to avoid flat spots from long Winter storage, as well as using the dolly coupled with a lift-jack in order to stabilize the bike and provide a secure lift surface.Sorry the photos have been slow in coming, I am down with very painful and swollen knees right now !! !!
Indeed, this is exactly what I am going to do with my R18.... I have the EZ Rizer Big Blue lift. My knees are having a fit now, so not sure when I will make the lift work for me... I am still unclear on the part called a Aufnahmebolzen which bolts to the underside of the R18 engine. The instructions do not tell you to remove it or let it remain on the bike ?? curious about that ???? Hornig has not replied to my email....Here are some pictures of what I think this thread is trying to accomplish; since BMW won't sell the R18 OEM lifting gig for servicing the R18 models, some have proposed purchasing the Kern-Stabi dolly in order to get the R18 off the ground in order to avoid flat spots from long Winter storage, as well as using the dolly coupled with a lift-jack in order to stabilize the bike and provide a secure lift surface.

Thank you, this makes total sense to me, I think I need to get these small wheels, I have the larger ones on my unit..... jpIn my case I chose not to leave the positioning bolt under the engine because I find that it protrudes a little too much.
I just screw it by hand without using a wrenchView attachment 6877 and I dismantle it after each use, see photo
