I currently have 2 650GS twins (one is hopefully going tomorrow)
On the 2009 one the centre stand, once pushed down, stays touching the ground so you can put your foot on the pad to haul the bike up.....nice and easy.
The 2012 bike retracts it’s stand very powerfully making it very difficult to push the stand down then slide your foot on to the centre stand pad.....makes it a bugger to get on the stand.
I think the 2009 one is correct but I can see no difference in the ways that the centre stands are mounted or sprung.
What does yours do?
Comments chaps, thanks.
