That little metal piece that attaches the radiator?? no don't put weight on that.

take a smalle piece of wood, and drill a 1" diameter hole into it with a drill. Put that under the engine, with the oil filter bolt in the hole, and put the jack under the wood. Carefully lift it. Slowly. Be gentle with everything you do, as this 3-legged stance is not the most stable work platform ever.

Only lift the front after the back is stable on a stand, or your bike will fall over.

That's why it's always best to own at least a swingarm stand, or a swingarm and head stand.
