Motorcycle enthusiasts love keeping their bike in clean and excellent running condition to stay on the road, and many enjoy doing the maintenance on it themselves in their own garage. These days motorcycle lifts are available for almost all types of bikes as per your needs. It is best to use stainless motorcycle lifts to avoid wear and tear. Usually, support bars are moved with hydraulic cylinders.

If you are planning to buy a motorcycle lift it is advisable to keep these following tips in mind:

Measurements: The choice of the motorcycle lift depends on the size and model of the bike. Measure the distance between the centers of the wheel to the bike's center and add roughly 13 inches for the front extension. If the calculation comes to 80 inches then you may buy any motorcycle lift.

Side extension: The motorcycle lifts that have side extension are more secure. This makes getting the bike off easier. For normal sized bikes 8 inch side extensions are good but for larger and heavier bikes 12 inch side extensions are recommended. The hydraulic stands are sure to cost you a little extra.

Weight: Each motorcycle lift has weight limitations. Before you buy the lift check the amount of weight it can handle. Hydraulic cylinders can take up to 1500 pounds (or 680 kilograms.) For big wheel and heavy bikes, the choice of the motorcycle lifts is very limited.

Height: Check the height of the motorcycle lift before you buy it. Though most lifts are adjustable, make sure it matches the height you need as working with heavy tools at an inappropriate height is quite dangerous and might lead to injury.

Material: As the lift is going to carry your most prized possession, it is best to choose the one that is made of solid steel and is not bendable or flimsy. This will ensure the safety of your bike and you.

Storage: There are few motorcycle lifts that can be folded and stacked against the wall or below a workbench. This is a very important feature if you are looking to use the lift in your personal garage.

Price: Before you buy the motorcycle lift it is best to collect price quotes from a few of the lift companies and then compare with quality and features.

Reviews: It is advisable to read the reviews about the different motorcycle lifts before you make your purchase. Try and find out if the lift you intend to buy is the best one to hold your bike.
