I bought this lift a few years ago. The wheel chock wouldn't fit together, they replaced it with a beefed up heavy duty one. Mine didn't come with the tie down anchors, had to purchase them separately. The table is built really slight, and is unstable with bikes on it over 700-800lbs. It's ok for dirt bikes and lighter cruisers, but I won't put a heavy touring bike on it.
Yeah it appears they’ve improved the unit for sure. Other than the things I pointed out in the video, it’s been a really solid unit. The heaviest bike I’ve had on mine it’s probably around 600 lbs and probably won’t go any heavier as I only work on sport bikes. Im happy with it as I didn’t pay the full price.
Mine had a minor defect where the rubber oil filler plug was so snug that air could not sufficiently flow into the reservoir when raising it (to fill the void as oil is pumping into the high pressure side), so it would stop pumping unless you paused every second. This especially affected the pneumatic pump and it would only raise half way up. I simply sanded a bit of rubber off the plug to rectify
That’s good. I’ve had over 100 bikes on my lift and it’s been great. I find myself using the foot pump more than the air system because it’s currently kind of a hassle to connect an air like every time. Hope to have a dedicated air like for the lift in the future.
Would you recommend to buy it after 3 months of use? My local PA just got 2 in and will honor the $500 sale price they had last week, so really tempted.
that soooo a cheap motorcycle table.For home use only,dont do hard and heavy bike mechanics job on this.This shitty tiny air compressor wont last long lol TRUST ME ABOUT THAT!!! Built with tiny metal sheet,everything is cheap,DONT BUY THIS KIND OF TABLE.!!SPEND MORE FOR HIGH END QUALITY TABLE.

Looking at one of these thanks for the Video!
For sure. No problem 👍. Mines been working like a charm. Looking to purchase a second unit myself.

Oh that’s unfortunate. Glad you were able to make it work! Did you contact Princess Auto about the issues you had?
I have the cheaper, blue lift. Basically, the same lift with only the foot pump. Works well for my Yamaha MT-09 SP.

Yea definitely recommend. Mine has been great. No issues and it’s had a motorcycle on it literally everyday since it’s been purchased.
Great video 👍🏼
How did you bleed the air to get it working?
Just have to remove the bleed cap on the pump. Pump the lift to release air in the system and close it. Repeat as needed till it lifts smoothly
Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome!
for $1000 thats a scam
Haha 😆 you might think so. There are some models that cost even more. Get it on sale & it will not sting as much.
