I wouldn't give up my centerstand unless I had a set of front & rear race stands lying around... It's wonders are often overlooked (working on the bike's rear end & suspension, oil changes, plus the less obvious "keeping kids from knocking it over when they crawl on it at the mall", etc). Is a 12 lb weight savings worth it?
Whatever you do, don't sell it for a while... keep it around in case you change your mind!

I never use it, the dealer showed me how but I cant seem to get the hang of it. I spent more then a few hours in my drive way rockin it back and forth lookin like some kind of excited kid....
I like what I see without it there but either way I'll keep it around. Next to the passenger pegs,stock sprokets,those bars on the back.2003 gsx600f (the yellow one)

As Cyberpoet stated center stands are a must have if you do any kind of maintanence yourself....unless like he said you have front and rear stands for it.

I have to agree I use mine daily when parking in tha garage... also it does take some pracite getting it up on the stand.. I like to put my left hand on the handle bar and the right grabbing the passenger handle and make sure both sides of the stand are touching the ground then I put all my weight down on the stand while pulling up in the back and rearward in the front.. works everytime.. took some time to get used to doing it now I can do it like nobody's business.Help Support Katriders.com via Motorcyclegear.com

I wouldnt suggest doing that technique though if your alone doing it...get some help first, it is easy for the bike to tip to the right side if there is a slight miscalculation...
I find it easiest to just sit on the bike, stand up, and kick it down while i pull the bars ...but im 6'4 so i guess i have some extra leverage
