Put bike on centerstand

[Red Mist_imp]

Right hand under the rear silver grab rail, left hand on the handlebar with the wheel straight,
lower the centerstand and bring the bike so its sitting vetical while feeling that both feet of the stand are
touching the ground, and then stand on it with you right foot while pulling up vently with your right hand
and the bike should pop onto the stand with ease.
you have to remember this bike was disigned by people that probably average 5'6" and MAYBE 160 lbs. so they wouldn't design it so it wasn't easy to put up on the stand.

Well hell those little guys have designed quite a few motorcycles over the years that are not only pretty darn hard to get up on the main stand (ST1300 aforementioned) but are pretty tall and not very suitable for shorter riders.

Just trying to keep this unbelievable thread cooking along...heh heh
