New XB12S owner here. I knew the Uly muffler could be used as a jacking point, but can my race can be used as a jacking point? I need to remove the rear wheel and don't won't to invest in a stand right now. A $200 tire is enough for this month.

Ok, I just found a post in the Knowledge Vault that says I can do this - hope it works!

Yes, you can use the race can as a jacking point.

I run a race can and have used the jack points without injury. You should see them marked. Throw a shop rag in between the can and jack just in case...

look under the can, there's jackpoint arrows, at least both mine had them.

you should see them without having to lift the bike.

I tried to jack a race can, but the owner came out and chased me off with a shotgun. Just kidding. I couldn't help myself.

Thanks guys, jacking pts were evident after I removed the chin spoiler/fairing. The bike is new to me and didn't come with a manual of any type. Now thanks to this site and some online manuals I'm set.
