That's easy, you just ride it up really fast.

[James in Brum]

Define really fast?  

[James in Brum]

Any thoughts on this?

I have one very similar which I use to load my trail bike into the van with. Good piece of kit for the job.

I would want a larger margin for Max load..

 

Temp Max load: 200 kg

 

Make Model	Kawasaki ZZ-R 600
Dry Weight	198 kg / 136.5 lbs
Wet Weight	216 kg / 476.1

Thanks both. They have one with a 360kg max load weight for fifty quid. Might buy one.

What's storage like for ramp, scaffold planks are cheap, just cut to length and join side by side if you need width, I have an 8ft plywood one for my van but I have a garage to store it in

It's not the load bearing capacity I'd be concerned about . Unfortunately I can picture the thing shooting out from under the bike as you desperately try to put your feet down halfway up a flight of steps . 

[James in Brum]

I might just get ground anchors and have done with it.

Trying to remember if you have posted picture of access, someone might have bright solution...

[James in Brum]

I’ll take a picture later. 

[onesea]

Might be worth starting another post so we can all appreciate the problem..

Maybe "James getting it up and away without putting a hole in it leaking lube every where"..

I don`t think many people will read a thread about James getting it up.

Mind you @dynax and @Six30 are full of surprises lol.

Cheers

Ian

[fredc]

[dynax]

Glad you got it all sorted James

Extend the lower ramp and form  it into a platform so that the rear wheel is higher as the front goes over the top lip ... Or a couple of scaffold planks joined side by side and secondary planks joined 2/3 of the way to strengthen and extend.

Congrats Jamesinbrum. I would have looked it up decided it was too much and run crying to my mechanic so hats off n all that!

I can check the top with the engine in, so will be on that today when rain stops. Ive been advised the big end has gone so will test that too. if its that then its engine out and new one to find. massive f**k up for an oil filter.

[James in Brum]

Yes @fastbob told me it was all for oil filter, I had not realised that. Such a pain in the arse!

when people upgrade bikes they must not think long term. The pipes they added just seem basic anyway so no idea why add them. However, it was my fault i drilled to far so the issues now are on me.

[James in Brum]

Still it really is shit.
