Jacking up the RoyalStar

Jacking up the RoyalStar is safe and easy with the Larin Jack (available at Sam's Club) that comes with the adapter plate. The first thing to do put something under the kickstand to raise the left side up about two inches. Make sure the jack is set with all of the adapters at there widest placement.(figure 1) After positioning the adapters slide the jack under the bike from right to left (figure 2) so the jack slides under the rear shock with the adapters spanning the rear shock.(figure 3) Once you made it under the shock (figure 4) adjust the adapters as shown in (figure 5) move the jack forward (figure 6) into place just behind the kickstand.(figure 7)

Once you have the left side in position move over to the right side and move the handle end of the jack forward so the front adapter is just behind the floorboard.(figure 8) Position the rear adapter so it's just forward of the bend in the frame.(figure 9) With all of the adapters in position (figure 10) give the jack a few pumps while watching and steadying the bike as it comes to rest on fully on the jack.(figure 11, figure 12, figure 13) A few more pumps (figure 14) and the bike is in the air.(figure 15, figure 16, figure 17) The last image (figure 18) shows the position off the jack with the bike in the air.
