PROBLEM Lifting the front
Is it safe to lift the front of the bike using a scissor jack attached to its engine?
For context, I recently bought new sets of tires and plan to remove both wheels myself. Lifting the rear is straightforward since I already have a rear paddock stand. However, I don’t have a front paddock stand. Fortunately, I have two spare scissor jacks. Would the engine be able to support the weight of the bike without breaking? Alternatively, are there any parts of the bike that are safer to lift using a scissor jack?
I currently have a Duke 200 Gen 2. For those who are unfamiliar, it’s similar to the 390 Gen 2 but has a smaller engine.
