Hi has anyone used a 1jac on a Multistrada? It seems to be dead clever and lifts the back wheel well off the ground but the front wheel doesn’t lift on mine, which it’s supposed to do. It may be an adjustment thing but in the current situation I’m assuming I can’t contact the manufacturer.
Right you need to undo the large bolt first, it-s a 19mm if memory serves me, just looden it enough so that it releases tension from the plate it holds. Then the upper tie rod needs adjusting again 13mm nuts, it need to be shortened i think, but not having my stand here cannot see, but what you are trying to achieve is getting the adapter plate (the bit the 2 pins in) at the angle which suits getting both wheels off the ground. Take a measurement of the rod so that you have your original setting to fall back on, tighten up then see if more is needed as you lift the bike. Do not adjust with the bike on the stand!!!
Fantastic will try tomorrow. Silly question- I set it so it would fit the luc and pivot point as the bike was standing. If I move it how will I get it to engage with those points to lift the bike? Hope that makes sense!
Yes i know what you mean, in other words when you positioning to the bike, don,t worry you will only be moving it by a small amount to get the wheels equal and it still will be easy to get it on, when you do adjust the plate only do it in 5-8mm of adjustment at a time.
I have a 1 Jac, brilliant piece of kit.And I have both wheels off the floor As Peter T says, it’s all about getting the adjustment correct, it will still fit the mounting holes and lift both wheels when you get it right, but it may take a bit of fine tuning until you get the happy medium of mounting and lifting if you know what I mean
Can you tell me who? I was looking to get one when I found out they had ceased trading earlier this year.
Thanks - I am aware of Bursig, Abba and Constand but I was/am interested in 1Jac...and so whoever bought them out.
