I have one of these and havent had a problem with it. Part of the reason its unstable i think is because the jack is setting on one of the bolts on the bottom of the motor. Either that or you dont have it strapped down tight enough or correctly. Did you use both straps on it?
my Buddy has the same sears yellow jack, he was putting a loweing kit on my rear shocks, my bile is a 2003 harley ultra classic, over 800lbs, he had me sit on the bike while he adjusted it for the proper hight, i weigh 350 lbs, we had no problems with this jack,,, Any cheeper jack will rock back and forth if you do what this guy did, if you want more staybility, get a ramp jack and pay 2000 for it. im my opinion, this jack works great for everyday cycle repairs such as changing oil
I bought one of these and have used it extensively on several 700+ pound bikes. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a jack. Unless you spend 4 times as much, the jack will rock a bit. I've sat on the ike while it's on the jack and tried to knock it off the thing and it stays put.
Usually you should make a Stand maybe out of Wood (Create) under neat it and remove the jack.
The jack is not for the storage. Lift and slide the Create.

Imagine your back tire was off when it fell, uhoh, Imagine if you spent $800 you might be happier.

Imagine if you took the front wheel off and the bike swayed forward and fell because it teeters.
