Putting A Motorcycle Onto The Centre Stand

Sharon runs through the basics of using a centre stand on a motorcycle.

I don't understand how most of the videos on how to do it properly are over 10 minutes long. This lady explained it wonderfully and straightforward.

Omy goodness. I though im weak. Lol. I was doing it wrong

i feel shame that i am a man that couldn't centerstand a bike, but now i just know that i did the wrong way lol hahaha

Nice demo Sharon, the only thing I do slightly differently is when taking my bike off the stand I steer the bike away from me, ie push the inside bar. This ensures that should the bike tip, it tips towards me and I can support it with my leg. Then again my bike weighs 320Kg or about 50 stone so if it fell the other way it would take me with it!  ;-)

Thank you for the video! I was doing it all wrong. The pushing down on the centerstand is the trick. I can now get my bike up on its centerstand. Cheers!

I have seen many swanky videos on mainstand tutorial but this amateur video is the best..two vital techniques..Making sure both stand end point touched ground before putting all bodyweight on the right leg to push down the stand..I didn't even have to use the right hand to pull up it was this easy...before this video I sprained my right hand using wrong technique to pull up..simple physics at its best

Good demo, The only thing I do is when removing from stand keep right foot on stand as if reverse of putting it on, that way you keep control as it lowers and balances on the two stand feet.

Thanks! This is a really help. Now I can put my bike in center stand on my own.

First time Classic350 today, wrenched my right shoulder. Luckily the pain subsided and only slightly hot tonight. Looking forward to applying the correct technique.

I would just add that turning the handlebars fully left gives your left hand more added leverage; and don't use your right toe on the main stand lever. This puts unnecessary strain on your calf and achilles muscles. Place the instep (lower middle part) of your boot on the centre stand lever.

Thank you. Great feeling of accomplishment!
