J&S jack useage question
I have a 2010 Ultra Limited.
Should I be able to use this jack without any straps or additional fasteners, on a flat garage floor to remove my back wheel for a tire change without throwing off the balance when I remove the wheel?
Just wondering if anyone else has done it.
Thanks.

always use straps.
go up only as high as required
have someone help steady the bike--- I might even go as far as a crate under the front wheel to help prevent nose dive when the wheel is removed--- the balance point is suddenly changed--- enough tip and the bike can tip the lift.
once the wheel is off, lower the lift until the front wheel contacts

There's plenty of support with the J&S and Pitbull jacks, no need to use a tiedown for most everything you'll do, including removing wheels for tire changes. Big difference between the J&S and the 75 dollar budget jacks.

I have a J&S jack and never have used straps for 4 yrs. I have changed numerous tires front & rear. If my memory is correct??? When the jack is raised to highest position and lowered slightly to the locking position, it is at it's most stable point. Would using straps be a bad thing? Of course not, do what makes you feel comfortable. Finally, after my buddy watched the video he had to climb on (his dad's bike) while on my lift without straps. His dad was freakin' out, but it worked flawlessly.
