If you haven't studied the 'Eazy Rizer' menu option, please do so now - and then return to this page.
By now you will know that by SuperBike or Retro we mean any bike that DOES NOT have a duplex frame slung
below either side of the engine, and that we apply this term regardless of the bike's performance.
We only use the term to describe the style of chassis that offers a narrow, streamlined lower frame
structure, as favoured by the current crop of sports bikes.
So let's look at the two lifting options available for this type of bike - Wheel Mounting and Multi-Mounting.
In reality these brackets can be mixed and matched to suit any particular job that you have in mind,
thus you could lift your bike by the front wheel and the rear chassis mount, or via the rear wheel
and the front Multi-Mount if more convenient.
Wheel Mounting Dimensions

The following charts show the maximum and minimum wheelbase dimensions that EazyRizer can deal with. To verify
that your machine conforms with these settings, use the side stand to support the bike and then measure forward
and rearward from the point where the foot of the side stand touches the road - to the CENTER of each wheel.
You should check both of these dimensions individually rather than the overall wheelbase dimension, for the fore-aft location
of the side stand varies from bike to bike. You will find that the tolerances shown accommodate 99.9% of all modern bikes.

Minimum Wheelbase Dimensions
By studying the photograph below you will appreciate that the two 'hoop' shaped Wheel Mounting brackets are able to slide
in and out of the main lifting arm, thus allowing you to individually adjust each bracket to achieve the stated dimensions
(remember to mark these positions for next time).
Wheel Mounting Brackets

While your bike is raised by this method it is still possible to turn the wheels by hand by applying an upward rotational motion
to the wheel - thus facilitating thorough cleaning. This is made easier by the external coating applied to the brackets.
Would you expect anything less from a well engineered product that has been honed and refined by genuine bikers around the world
Multi-Mounting Brackets

In order to raise your machine as in the photograph above, you will use the Multi-Mounting brackets which support either
the chassis direct or an alternative location. Most bikes can be raised in full road going trim, some may require part
of the lower fairing to be slipped off - which can usually be done in seconds courtesy of the normal speed fasteners.

As with the Wheel Mounting option, each Multi-Mounting bracket is fully adjustable to suit your bike's characteristics, but
in this instance they slide externally along the lifting arm. The forward bracket is designed to cradle the engine sump,
the chassis frame or the exhaust collector pipes - dependant upon your specific bike or the task that you wish to perform.
Exhaust Collector Pipes.
Lifting a bike via the engine sump or the chassis frame requires no clarification here, but one of the most frequent
questions posed to our technical department by SuperBike owners is:
"Are you sure my collector pipes can support my machine?"
The answer is always the same, " YES "
Although on many occasions you may elect to lift the front of your bike from the sump or the chassis, the question
"can I lift via my collector pipes?" is perfectly understandable - but the simple fact is that supporting SuperBikes
from the front collector pipes is an Industry Standard Procedure and is used throughout the industry by manufacturers,
the retail & maintenance trade and competition departments across the world. This is borne out by the fact that we
only get asked this question by private owners, because the trade are familiar with this technique.
Manufacturers use EazyRizer to lift customer bikes via the collector pipes!
Once you appreciate that the integral chassis design of some SuperBikes dictates that the front end MUST be
lifted from the collector pipes, you will realise why the exhaust systems were designed from the outset to
accommodate this procedure. Our customers NEVER have a problem with this Industry Standard Procedure, even
elderly machines with corroded systems - remember, everyone gets a Money Back Guarantee, so you can be damned
sure we'd know if they had a problem!

In the above shot you can clearly see the front mounting cradling the collector pipes. It is worth noting that
EazyRizer spreads the weight of the bike between the front mounting, the rear mounting and the side stand,
this limits the front mount to supporting approx 40% of the weight. The wide based cradle and the rubber pads
take care of your system. Incidentally, most after-market thin-wall stainless steel and titanium systems are
actually stronger than their chromium plated, mild steel counterparts. If you still have any queries regards
the collector pipe situation, then by all means e-mail your thoughts to our Technical Department.
The above diagram illustrates how the front mounting (right-hand side) and the rear mounting are able to
slide along the lifting arm to adopt the perfect lifting position for your bike. It also shows how each
one can be adjusted vertically to allow every bike to be raised in a horizontal plain. All cradle surfaces
have bonded rubber pads to preserve your paintwork in A1 condition. The mounting brackets are designed to be
slid on to the lifting arm after EazyRizer has been positioned under the bike, thus guaranteeing no
accidental contact with your lower fairing.
The rear mounting bracket can cradle either the monoshock, the gearbox, the center stand, or the center
stand mounting point if the stand is not fitted. Thus you can cope with any configuration of bike and
carryout any maintenance task. Regardless of the job you wish to undertake, you can always support an
alternative position to facilitate good access. Most users instinctively go for the monoshock, but
obviously if you wish to remove the rear suspension, you must lift via one of the alternative points.
Since you do not have any hydraulics to worry about, you can quite happily leave your bike
in the raised position for as long as you wish. And remember - it can't possibly come down
on its own due to its failsafe design.
'Mix and Match' Mounting Bracket Variations
The true versatility of EazyRizer comes from its ability to cope with virtually any scenario
of bike or task. Regardless of the combination of mounting requirements, EazyRizer has the
answer by allowing you to Mix and Match the mounting brackets to suit the situation.
Thus you could support your bike by the front wheel and the chassis or via the rear wheel and the chassis. You decide.

The above shot highlights this ability perfectly as we see the normal arrangement for lifting scooters -
using a front Wheel Mounting bracket at one end of the lifting bar and a Beam Mounting bracket at the rear
to securely support the center stand. This general principle can be used to good effect with SuperBikes
and Retros by allowing you to mix the Multi-Mount and Wheel Mounting brackets, giving you total freedom of use.
Specialised Mounting Brackets
Whereas the vast majority of bikes can be lifted straight away by using combinations of our standard bracket sets,
we have introduced specialised mountings to overcome specific issues which affect certain bike makes and models.
