Title: Pull out lever under seat LHS.
Post by: Ajay on January 26, 2021, 07:05:31 AM
A real newbie question I’m sorry but what is the lever that hinges out just under the seat on the LHS of bike?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210125/b2baedfe7b768133f705d166d7ac4fbf.jpg)

If it is like the ST1300
It's to help the bike up onto the centre stand

On the ST1300 you:
1. lower the Centre stand until it touches the road/surface on both sides,
2. hold the left handle bar,
3. grab the handle/lever near the seat,
4. then stand on the pedal of the centre stand,
5. the bike lifts itself onto the centre stand.

I hope that makes sense. 

I suspect it's the same on the ST1100.

It is used to assist in lifting the bike onto the centre stand.

That's what I was trying to explain. It seems there is a video for everything.

Thanks all. My first reaction was ‘maybe it’s a reverse gear mechanism like on the Goldwings’. A closer inspection put that to rest

A lot of us would be very grateful for that mod!  My long-suffering pillion has had to push me out of a few situations I let myself get into.
