I'm looking into getting a lift or jack for working on the bike. I'm interested to know what others are using and how they feel about their choice.

I use a hydraulic lift similar to this for my baggy, heavy bit of kit but easy to use....

This is the lift I use, should be suitable for a Skorpion as well, easily manouverable and quite stable, nice working height.
Regards Dave.

Paddock stands are really easy to use on the Skorpion!
