Centre Stand 2-Parter

Yes, pull up under the seat. For a long time, I had a problem getting my bikes up on the center stand. My tendency was to try to pull the bike back onto the stand, not up. I watched a few videos about how to put a bike on a center stand, and watched people much smaller than me pulling bikes up with no problem. Once I realized that the key is pulling up, not back, it became a snap. The procedure is pretty much the same for any bike, if you watch a few YouTube videos. That's what helped me.

Take a look under your muffler to see where the center stand is hitting it. Might just be a matter of putting a larger spacer under there to get the stand to sit a bit lower and away from the chain.

That makes sense as I've been pulling back more so than up, I'll give that a whirl. Hoping a larger spacer does the trick, sounds like a cheap fix.

Thanks!!
