400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again
ComfySofa:
Well the endgame is that itll be used literally a few times per year in warm dry weather only so 99% of the time itll be at the back of the garage, anchored to the wall behind my RSV4. Now its almost completed i do want to give it a good clean....the engine cases were bead blasted so theyre bare....best thing to clean them with?

Chain the bike to the ramp, if the ramp is bolted to the floor it is a massive ground anchor.

I was thinking of putting fold down legs on the corners of the ramp, pumping it up and then dropping the legs and lowering the ramp until it was resting on the legs, that way if the hydraulic seal goes on the ramp it doesn't suddenly drop.

Is there not a safety latch / pin on the ramp?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I use the locking pin on my ramp as per the instructions - two positions for the pin on mine. Just hide the pump pedal as you can't release the lock pin without a few pumps.👍👍
