Lumbago - lower back pain

[Riko_imp]

I find the center stand very easy to manage on the CB. If you are using your back or shoulders to get the bike on the stand you are doing it wrong. Upper body strength is not important. There is a thread on how to engage the CS easily.

thank I think I'm gonna have to look into that thread, just to be sure I did it right.

Best thing is using your full body weight, by simply standing on the CS, and engage it by a little pull on the rear rack (if installed).

Thats the theory, but I think I might have done it not in the ideal way to save my back.
And Sunday was the worst way I could have done it, if I remmeber correctly, I was in a hurry and happy to be home (after the long wedding day from the day prior), so I yanked on my rear rack to force it on the CS, instead of using the full body weight/standing on the CS manner.

However, because of the wood piece on the floor, the theory is more difficult to bring into practice...that is why I don't always do it the right way.
Somehow when I'm on the road and use the centerstand, I think I use the right way, but at home the wrong way.
