Over the past few weeks I have been experiencing soreness in my left wrist and lower forearm. Until last night I did not put 2+2 together and figure out that it is my center stand technique for my CB that is doing it. I normally stand on the right side of the bike, put my right hand on the silver frame piece under the seat, put my right foot on the center stand lever, and my left wrist on the handlebar. I am not a lightweight, but my weight alone does not get the bike on the stand--I seem to have to pull the frame up with my right hand while pulling back with my left hand. Something I am doing is straining my left hand. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better technique? Thanks!!
[My bold above.] Try standing on the left side of the bike. You need to be a contortionist to do it from the right side.

We think it might be an error. If he's doing it as described he's on the brake side of the bike with his right arm crossed in front of him to hold the frame and his left hand crossed in front of him to hold the bar. Heaven only knows how he gets his foot on the lever on the stand unless he has an extraordinarily long and flexible leg that allows him either to sling it over the bike or slide it underneath.
