I find adjustable lifts make tire changing so much easier where you set the height exactly to where the tires just roll right off and on with no weird twisting at the forks or getting hung up on the calipers. Saves a lot of frustration. Not to mention a back saver. It would be nice if there was the option for extending out some floor supports if you do need to man handle it a bit more, or for poor weight distribution (like front end removed only).
+Jimstigator It's going to take some time. I want to ride it for at least 5 hours before doing the review and the weather here isn't co-operating with me on that!
Great videos as always. I'm up in Idaho and the weather isn't nice to me right now, so I've been cleaning and sending suspension in as well. keep up the good videos.
Nice video DBC. And thanks for the Stillwell reference for the fork modes etc. He's got a great site and loads of knowledge.He did suggest anti-seize on the fork mounts/bracers and lock tight on a few other spots...he has some great tutorials as you do. Keep-up fun videos, rubber side down. also, just looked, its Factory Tuning Tips with Alan Stillwell.
Seems like oil changes may not be an option, pan may not fit between theblegs of the lift or does the oil hit any of the bars of the lift under the platform?
Great product review. I am very jealous of you new shop, really nice. I noticed you have dirt bike channel stickers on your bike. Will you be selling or giving those away in the future?
I have an older (maybe just cheaper?) version of that lift it doesn't have that spring mechanism to secure the bike (uses threaded hooks) or the safety bars. It works very well however. I would give two thumbs up as well (especially since it was given to me by a buddy who sold his bikes...)
+Dirt Bike Channel Hang up some carpets on the walls you cant see during filming, put some carpet on the floor / roof. Its hard to watch with the sound as it is!
+Dirt Bike Channel 👊👊👊👌 Awesome! Keep up the good work I enjoy watching the videos, and they helped me confirm the bike that I wanted was the right one.

I would recommend some sound dampening material. Just some blankets or something. It will definitely help cut down on all the echoes. :)
+tyler kuku no big deal tho. channel is great as is, especially with all these tech vids, i can't get enough of them haha!
+tyler kuku It's a SHOP first. Studio second... but it hear you.
+tyler kuku Fixed the issue with a new Mic on my lapel. Videos in the shop in the future will have much better audio!
cool!
or more dirtbikes ;)
Very cool product. Can't wait for the re-done suspension review. I am sending mine off next week.
+Jimstigator It's going to take some time. I want to ride it for at least 5 hours before doing the review and the weather here isn't co-operating with me on that!
+Dirt Bike Channel I feel you - I too am getting my suspension done just in time to park the bike for 4 months.
That is awesome that goes way higher than I thought it would
+Moto madness Yeah, I'm really liking the lift.
+Dirt Bike Channel I'm going to have to get one I'm not in to the fancy lifts, but this one would be great in the shop and help me out a lot!
Awesome review, major back saver especially if you like to work standing up.
+Liam Arvin Yeah, it's great option for working on your bike without bending over.
Great videos as always. I'm up in Idaho and the weather isn't nice to me right now, so I've been cleaning and sending suspension in as well. keep up the good videos.
+Bryson Stafford Yeah, it's starting to get ugly down here in Utah too.

I see a version of this with wheels on it now which looks sweet.

Awesome idea to upgrade my garage :) Great video

+NorCal ADV I'd have to find them for a better price. These were really expensive to have made. More than people would want to pay.
That's cool. Just thought I would ask.
Love that stand are u still going to do the suspension installation vid?
+Toxic Titan00 Yes, Coming...
+Dirt Bike Channel alright sweet looking forward to it
Great review! Also, I noticed the Dirt Bike Channel decal on your front fender. Are those available for purchase?
+loganswebsites Not yet. Those one are too darned expensive for me to resell.
It's not necessarily about the lift failing onto the pins I would imagine, more in case someone bumps the release ;-)
+krazed0451 You may be right.
What are the dimensions of the platform at the top?
cant wait to see the harbor freight version.lol
Me too!
U can hold the foot peice down an pull it up it's easier

+Brandon Allen Can't beat free.
Are the feet big enough to bolt it to the floor? Are they predrilled?
+otpipe Yes, they are big enough. No, they are not pre-drilled.
REALLY COOL! should be a back saver.
+markmtbrider Yeah, I'm really happy with it. Only about $270 bucks rather than like 1K for some other lift tables I've seen.
nice one... how much is it and where to order?
www.dirtbikechannel.com/parts/
That's awesome, $270, seems like a good price
Anyone having problems with it dropping after 5 min??
Can you tag me in the link for this lift
+Mark Bushell Do you want to get the link for the lift?
you have nice videos. but will you please do somthing with that echo.
+oqinferno Easier said that done :( Working on it though.

+MrHayleynick Got it fixed! I have a video coming out on 11/26/15 that shows the new mic I have to capture my voice. Echo gone in this shop!
+Dirt Bike Channel 👊👊👊👌
Awesome! Keep up the good work I enjoy watching the videos, and they helped me confirm the bike that I wanted was the right one.
