Afternoon gang. Looking at getting a scissor lift of some description to save on the old back and knees - just doing basic maintenence work. Seen a few on small & cheap ones on eBay but need to know; 1. If the cheap ones (take a max load of 500KG) are worth it and 2. Is it technically possble (and safe) to go under a 2022 V7.
Had a quick look underneath and not too sure.
Thanks as always

One of the issues has always been that although the sump is an easy lift point - most of the weight is behind it. So you can only lift the front..
One solution to lift the rear (thank you GRiSO Ghetto) is to lock the front wheel down in a wheel support then jack up the sump with a scissor lift so that the rear wheel rises
Hi 350lcjohnny
Thanks for the reply and information. Looks like an adjustable stool will be needed after all 
I would just add that my 1200 sport, that if you have a front wheel chock and use a scissor jack it will lift the wheel chock and wheel still.
Unless it’s fixed to the floor.

Ouch!!
Yes - should have mentioned that!
Seen a few posts over the years of bikes falling off lifts, including while getting it up or off a ramp, so however you’re doing it, safety first!
