Lift for my R18B

[johndeeredr]

Does anyone have the website for the lift made for the R18B ? Anyone in the US I can order it from ? Seems like I’m going to need it because I do my own maintenance. Or is there a work around?

Search under Kern-Stabi and you will find lots of information.

Take the darn exhaust flapper servos out and you can use the rtv jack that you always used ... IMO

Checked that out , no way to remove them . That boxer motor sits below the frame . No way am I going to lift it using the engine

Why not? BMW's lifting aid attaches to the engine...

That’s my issue . I don’t have a kern stabi lift .but I’m looking for one .

I have the Kern-Stabi with the extra trucks. Worth getting. If job is not done, just push the bike across the garage floor and rotate it any way you want.
I bought mine from Hornig Motorcycles.com

You can also use a regular lift with a couple of blocks under the engine. Wont do any damage

Came up with driving the front wheel into a tire chalk and using a simple motorcycle scissor lift at the rear frame just in front of the rear tire . Works perfectly for me .
