I purchased a Princess Auto 1000 pound capacity lift table for my 2003 Goldwing. This lift table is the same as the Harbor Freight 1000 pound capacity table. I have added a front wheel chock to the lift table. I rode my bike up onto the table today and found it intimidating as I was not used to it but am sure it will become easier with practise. After I had my bike secured on the table I raised it up about 10 to 12 inches. I rocked it a little from side to side and wondered if it might become unstable if I raised it up the max height of 30 inches. Also when I lowered it I thought it lowered awful fast and when I released the lowering pedal it stopped pretty heavy. My question is- is this lift safe for my Goldwing or am I just too timid?
The second question is about the wheel chock and using the bikes reverse to get it out of the chock. I wasn't able to back the bike out of the the chock without using reverse on the bike. In order to save room in the garage I plan on storing the bike on the lift each night. So this means that each day I ride the bike I will have to use the reverse to get it out of the chock. Will this end up harming my starter motor or any other part on the bike? Thanks fiero1988gt
