A motorcycle lift [100]comprises two lift arms [103A,103B] attached to a cross bar [105]. Support sleeves [109A,109B] attached to the ends of the lift arms surround the foot pegs [150A,150B] of the motorcycle [301]to securely engage the vehicle. Clamps [125A,125B] provide a means to adjust the width between the support sleeves for engagement to the foot pegs. A lever [107]attached to the cross bar raises and lowers the motorcycle. Replaceable sleeves [109A,109B] allow relatively tight diametrical clearance with various foot peg designs to provide stable support. The design allows stable support even with foot pegs of folding designs.
