center stand

[dog64bull]

Dude!!!! How do you put the scooter On the center stand? like what is the technique?

[gn2]

Stand on the left (stand) side of the bike, hold the left handlebar with your left hand, hold the grab rail with your right hand.
Put the stand down onto the ground with your right foot, make sure the scooter is level on both of the stand's feet then simultaneously in one sweeping motion put your weight on your right foot and pull up with your right hand.
Really simple to do after a bit of practice.

THANKS!!! i appreciate it. Now how do you get the bike off the stand?

[gn2]

Make sure the engine is switched off and push forward on the handlebars.

Fair warning: if you do not have strong wrists, do not attempt to take it off of the center stand while standing beside it. Even though you should be holding the brake lever as you push forward on the bike, i have seen my share of women and young men drop the bike after it is off of the stand. I suggest that you straddle the bike, feet on the ground, and rock the bike forward...hands again on the brake to keep it from continuing forward.

I might also add that you should take care to keep the bike leaning slightly towards you, as I nearly got dragged to the opposite side when it leaned away from me .

LOL, was that guy trying to steal the bike or just move it?!

What a dummy...

[Valiant]

He was trying to steal it, but I suspect the owner either put a rotor lock on or used the parking brake, because it looked like he couldn't move it along the wheels at all. If someone did that to my PCX, it ought to be interesting seeing hippie boy up against the yellow Michelin Man .

My '73 R65LS had the optional ride-off stand. It was a few cm shorter than the stock stand and was designed to allow both wheels to just have a contact patch on the ground.
Mount, start, drop it into first, ease the clutch out and, you're off!
Downside was mainly maintenance; had to carry a little block to put under the stand in case of a flat. I guess the tire inflator goo available now would make that unnecessary.

Would be a great option for a scooter but requires a Stupid Factor of zero!
