Put bike on centerstand

[_imp]

Somehow there is a big communication failure here. Thumpers method is perfect. You walk up and stand next to the bike, which is leaning over on the side stand. Or you are riding, then stop, then put the bike on the side stand and get off. Either way then you step on the center stand lever (right foot) and then hold the bike straight up until you stabilize bike by feeling both pads of center stand touching the ground at the same time.... You have not touched the side stand which is still extended. Then you push down with right foot and pull up with right hand. If you hold the bike straight up then fold the side stand back, then you have to balance the bike while standing on one foot to operate the center stand. You don't try to put the bike on center stand while still straddling the bike. The manual doesn't say extend the side stand first because you do that before you get off..... Its already extended.

Again you are adding things into this that aren't there.
What if yer bike is parked in the garage and there is NO
getting off.You just want to put the bike on it's centerstand.
Should one just " pull up and back " with the right hand which
is gripping the left grab rail or with both the right hand and the
left hand { which is on the left hand grip }.
Is the intention for the left hand on the left hand grip just
for balance.
The only reason I'm making such a stink about this is that
the first time I tried it I failed miserably.I didn't even come
close.Because I had the sidestand down.I wasn't thinking.
This sidestand is an auto-retract sidestand.Meant to snap in
place and snap back when kicked,.What motor scooters use.
I'm not used to that.I'm a Cruiser guy.
So flog me.
