I have one of those red ATV motorcycle jacks, and my 9R has the silver race can. Are yall absolutely sure this muffler wont crush like a soda can under my foot, from using this lift/jack?

Under the muffler there are markings that show where the lift points are just make sure you follow those markings and you will be good to go.

Anyone use a transmission jack under the stock muffler or drummer rather?

my Drummer equipped 12S is lifted with an SUV floor jack at this very moment while the suspension is out, no issues. i've jacked up the bike, using the lift markings Nyankee mentions, many times without even a slight dent.

i use a folded piece of cardboard between the jack and can. works like a charm. just make sure the bike is stabilized properly.
