Put bike on centerstand

[Red Mist_imp]

Of all the bikes I've owned, this one is the worst as far as effort required to get it onto the centerstand. Of course, a big, husky dude of 200 pounds won't have as much trouble, but it's just plain located in an area that is not advantageous in terms of leverage.

I solved the problem by just removing my centerstand and using a race stand. Bike is several pounds lighter and it cleans up the lines.
