Centre Stand Video

ruSTyEB:
Having never been shown how to put my bike onto the centre stand, I used to lift up, which is the hardest way to do it :grin

This video has saved me a hernia:

ST1300 on center stand

Quote from comments:
" The key is to be sure that both center stand feet are square on the ground, squeeze the clutch, push down with your foot and just guide with your hands"

Biggles:
If I had an ass as big as whoever that was, I could lever the bike up like it was a pushbike.
Being 75 kilos means the ST13 just laughs at me when I stand on the lever.
I see some BMWs have a longer lever.  The Wing certainly does.  That makes all the difference.

saaz:
Being also around Biggles' weight, I use the combined effect of standing on the centre stand and pulling up and back on the lever.  Trying to do it without decent boots on shows that both parts of the technique do their bit.

Whizz:
Can someone tell me why we need to "squeeze the Clutch"?. Mine's always in neutral when I'm trying this!?

Same here.

Plus I straddle the bike when I take it off centre stand..........
