#16138 Roadkill1962 (User) I have ADOS - Attention Defecit...Oh, Shiny! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1390 Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   How long could a Roadie stay perched on an 8&quot; x 8&quot; railroad tie, assuming it's on the center of the frame? Thought it might be easier to work on that way. Got a MC jack, but I'd really be pissed if the bike came over on me whilst I was repairing it. Thanks, RK<br><br>Post edited by: Roadkill1962, at: 2007/02/06 00:31   Logged     Rome did not create a great empire by holding meetings; they did it by killing all who opposed them.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #16140 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2745 Re:Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I would say forever Unless you experience an earthquake... or the Roadie got bored and hopped off   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #16142 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13084 Re:Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Are we talking a RR tie that has been removed from the tracks? If not then I think the train schedule has a lot to do with how long you can leave the bike there.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #16143 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2657 Re:Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   RK, Simply put your ear to the track and if you dont hear a rumbling its safe to get under it .....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #16144 RoadieFF (Moderator) In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey.

I think the support area of the jack is larger than 8 inches isn't it?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #16152 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10750 Re:Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Forever. I had mine raised off the ground all winter on a 6&quot; piece of wood. Teeters nicely.

While it hasn't happened to me, it seems that motorcycle jacks tend to, over time, lose a bit of the lift capability in the piston and motorcycles tend to come down...unexpectedly. My jack does have the safety bar that locks in place in a number of various heights which would in theory make it perfectly safe, but...it, like everything else, was made in China. Just doesn't instill a world of confidence. I'm cool with it being on there up in the air for a few hours, but I'm looking to put it up and do a bunch of work over the next month, and I've NEVER heard of wood deflating or losing oil pressure or busting a seal.

Moderator Posts: 1771 Re:Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Good advice RK, I don't know how much faith I have in that locking mechanism either. I know when I jack mine up I always bungie cord from the the bike to my work bench so it will hopefully pull the bike in the direction of the side stand just in case the jack did fail. Sounds good in theory, I hope I never find out if it works.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #16288 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2657 Re:Frame strength 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Roadkill1962 wrote: [quote]RoadieFF wrote: I've NEVER heard of wood deflating or losing oil pressure or busting a seal.
