Center stand not going up.

Yes, 1st bike I've had with this 'feature' however if you get on the bike and then push it forward off the centre stand with both feet it seems to work (assuming your legs are long enough to give you enough purchase!)

Are Touratat doing carpeted centre stands?

My GS LC manual says "Make sure the ground is level and firm and place the motorcycle on its SIDE stand. The volume of the tank can be utilised to the full only when the motorcycle is propped on its side stand"?

Crikey, someone read the manual!

I shall give it a go. Does it say what preload setting the suspension should on be when doing it?

Err doesn't everyone put their right foot on the tab on the centre stand when putting the bike on and off to control the bike/stand?

I'm fairly certain my 1150 handbook says something similar.. but I'm not going to start hauling my bike up on the centre when it's loaded with all my camping gear, just to get another cup of fuel in.. I'm rebel....

If the floor is slippery, ANY centrestand will slide forward. I took my GSA to a workshop with a shiny floor a few months ago, and looked like a right knob on it

Had to be done mate

DFDS ferry wet oil covered deck, three people to physically lift the bike and another to kick up the centre stand
