Center Stand
Center Stand
I've read that it's much better to use the center stand than the side stand. Is there a trick to getting the bike on the center stand. It's pretty hard to do... I do it when I'm doing maintenance but otherwise it's too much of a hassle to do regularly, am I doing something wrong?
Re: Center Stand
You press the center stand down with your right foot at the lever and pull it upwards with your right hand at the grab bar behind the upper rear shock mount. You may pull it to the rear with your left hand at the handlebars during that.
Just needs a bit of practice.
I can put my bike on the center stand while still sitting on it.
Left foot on stand lever, right foot on ground, right hand to right side grab bar, left hand on handle bar (in straight forward position).

Re: Center Stand
Thanks! It's raining here today so I'll be driving the car, but I'll try that tomorrow!
Re: Center Stand
It takes practice. And having a bigger wheel and longer shocks help.
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!
Re: Center Stand
I struggled with it for awhile, then one day it went up easy. Thats when I realized, "N", I had a good laugh at myself.
