【DRC】HC2 Lift Stand Review

Purchased for 23CRF250L

Purchased for CRF250L.
The minimum ground clearance is low because it is a non-S model, and also because it uses ACERBIS skid plates.
It does not fit under the Engine as it is.
I have to pull the vehicle up to get the STAND in, and when I lower it down, the STAND is stuck.
I would appreciate it if you could lower it a bit more.
I use STAND after putting the front and rear Tire on the Block because it is inconvenient.
If not for this, it would be a perfect score, but I originally had the same impresion for use on a CRF250L
I purchased at my own risk and have no problems. View detail

It is very convenient to have it for maintenance.

[How is it used?
Purchased several years ago for storage and maintenance of Dual PurPass vehicles.
This time, we have used another company's Lift Stand that looks just like it." I am posting this because I would like to review the Lift Stand made by DRC again, as I have purchased a new one.
As of 2023, the regular price is 16,500 yen due to price hikes, but a few years ago when I bought it, it was available for less than 10,000 yen gold, including the discount from Webike.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I wanted to buy it when I saw the original at a Motorcycle supply store at the time, and I waited until the discount at Webike was more than enough to buy it.
Was the installation difficult?
Like the similar product I purchased the other day, it was packed in a box with the body part that lifts and the lever part that lifts by the principle of leverage detached, and after opening the box, it is assembled with two shafts and a CClip for fixing to look like the product introduction page by Webike.
The assembly is completed smoothly with no hole gaps, etc., without any problems.
Grease up is firmly applied to each shaft and moving parts when assembling.
How was your experience with it?
When we first started using it, there was no rattling and the vehicle was almost vertical and stable after lifting up, but after several years of frequent lifting and lowering, rattling began to appear on the inside and outside of the posts, causing the vehicle to lean slightly when lifting up (not enough to cause a risk of tipping over).
We have not taken special care of the Damper, but even after several years, we have not experienced any Damper gas loss, and the vehicle can be raised and lowered smoothly, so we believe the durability of the Damper is sufficient.
Unlike similar products, the paint is solid and to date, no paint peeling or rust has occurred.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
There has been no disappointment to date, and the slight rattling noted above is nothing to worry about considering its age.
Other items that would be helpful
Point and hang of installation
As mentioned above, if each moving part is thoroughly greased up before use, wear and force on moving parts can be reduced, so it is a good practice.
Even if the STAND itself holds the vehicle firmly, if the ground is not soft or stable, the Motorcycle will easily fall over.
[Availability and clarity of the Instruction Manual
An instruction manual with illustrations of how to assemble and use the product is included, which is easy to understand for those who purchased this product for its functionality.
[Notes]
When lifting up, use the carBoth Sides of the car where the ground surface is as flat as possible.
Lifting up on an uneven surface can cause the vehicle to become unstable and fall over, damaging or injuring the motorcycle.
Also, be sure to lock the lock lever after lifting up.
Please make sure to check the lock to avoid the risk of accidentally touching the lever of the leverage part and causing the motorcycle to come down.
[ITEMS TO BUY TOGETHER
If you do not have Grease as a maintenance tool, purchase cheap Grease and apply it to the moving parts during assembly.
[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
I would like to see more ColoringVariation in the Lever section, which is the leverage part, so that I can have different enjoyment when using multiple units. I would like to have more coloring variations of Blue, Lime green, and Color.:Would you like to have a Yellow? View detail

Easy and safe raising and lowering

It is very good because it can be raised and lowered easily and safely.

I really thought Red would be safer because it would be more visible, but the price was lower for Black, so I decided on this one. View detail

Easy STAND-UP

It is so much easier to do maintenance work.
I usually take it to Dealer.
Recently I started tinkering with it, thinking it would be cheaper and more educational to do it myself.
This is recommended as it expands the scope of maintenance such as tire replacement and grease up of LINK.

I thought it was a little frustrating that the lock was a little difficult to do. View detail

Used for KTM690SMCR and KLX230

The product itself is exactly as shown in the pictures, the instruction manual is easy to read and translate (enter here), and the assembly was very simple.

When used on the 690 smcr, even at the lowest setting, the bottom of the vehicle body (Outside Engine Guard) The rear tires interfere with the fuel tank, so it was necessary to raise the vehicle. But it seems to need a little hang to make the rear tire float due to the characteristics of the 690 smcr (the fuel tank is in the rear).

For use with Kawasaki KLX230
The thickness of the skid plate may change the feeling of use, but I had no problem getting it under the car body easily. Stability is also zero. View detail
