I expect it's just me... but I really struggle to get this f800 onto its centre stand. I'm borrowing the bike from my bro' to see how I like it compared to my 1150 (that I've had for 14 years) Despite the massive weight of the 1150, it is easy to get up on the centre stand even with full panniers. The stand seems to be in just the right place to get your weight on it, and combined with a pull on the bars she's up first time every time. However the stand on this 800 just seems too far back.... I feel like a bloody contortionist trying to get enough weight on the stand to 'lever' it up. Is there a trick to it! Seems amazing to me given how much lighter the 800 is compared to my 1150.
Tricks and the knack would be much appreciated.
