Put bike on centerstand

[Ole_imp]

All this talk about using your right arm to lift the bike! Nonsense! It is your right leg that does all the work! Your leg does 80% of the work. If it doesn't, you are doing it wrong. And I have been putting bikes on centerstands for about, oh, 46-48 years?

if you don't weigh enough you have to. But I think most realize that the leg pushing down levers the bike up.

Mid 70 beemers you could take either wheel off on the centerstand it was so perfectly placed on the balance point of the motorcycle. How cool of an engineering idea is that?

my 60's bsa did that. Kind of expected that with the CB...but no.

It was a metaphor how to succeed in life. You apparently missed the deeper meaning.

No. Two pages of putting a bike on the centerstand, and four pages of typical interwebs bullcrap.

I will admit to having made mistakes putting my bike up on the center stand numerous times until I figured out you need to stand on the center stand and the stand has to be flat on the floor. When those two conditions are met, it jumps right up onto the stand. I almost always leave the side stand down when doing it. Whether it's up or down doesn't factor into my ability to do it right. The hands are really only there to keep the bike from falling over before the stand is down.
