It's NOT . You're doing it wrong . My 100lb lil sister can ALMOST do it by herself . Seriously .

I'm diggin this site, recently bought a kat and was naturally drawn to the same method, glad to see it posted and that there are others out there doin the same thing.

Even though I got a GSXF without the center stand, my previous Kat had one. I remember what someone said a few years ago on how to approach getting the bike up on it. Just imagine that you are trying to push the stand down into the ground. Ever since then, it's been a breeze. One hand on the grab bar for balance only and the PUSH down into the ground the center stand.

ya i got it up, i dont have a tie down bar so it sucks i dont really have alot of clean places to grab on ill have to keep the bike clean now.

[JeffW]

great idea...do you just bungie cord it to the tail and ride around with it or do you just do this at your house?

Haaahaahaahaaa

I was finally able to put my katana 600 on center stand.. I did not have anything to catch behind so put my hand underneath the bike to get the lever.. Great tip.. thanks!

[bob393]

You are right, pulling up on the passenger footrest works great! Now what do I have to get mad at?

2yrs i have had this bike and never got it on the centerstand without help. Found this thread today, and after a couple of attempts, up she came. It was a little scary at first, allowing the bike to lean away from me so both centerstand feet could be on the ground.

So many thanks to you RANGE.
