Seriously, how do you bring it down?
I get on the bike, standing on my feet and push it forward. It comes down, but I'm afraid it'll drop and cause a domino effect to the other bikes I park next to! I don't know if I wanna try bring it down from the side (reverse), that sounds even more unstable!Just remember: Satan loves you

Has it been on the stand for a month?
Anyway sit astride the bike ready to apply the front brake. Push firmly, smoothly, foward on the handlebars, as the bike goes over center it will start to move foward on its own. Apply the front brakes, then slowly release to let the bike come down gently. As a final step when it is almost completely down I put my left foot over the centerstand foot pad to stop it from snapping back up.
Edit: I should add that I'm able to put both feet down when stradling it on the center stand, your mileage may vary.

I don't sit on the bike to bring it off the stand. Smashed me nuts one time that way. Stand on the left side and pull backwards. Use the front brake to control the decent.-Steve

thanks for the original post the info was very helpful. I was my right hand to steady the rear and just pull the left bar and push the center stand down no problem. Then again I have tree trunks for legs. Would it be better to use a little more of the right hand rather than all leg??
Cheers,go ahead and ruck it!!!

YOu know Bobkat your way is prob easier on the legs, back, and bike. I just wanted to get some posts on the subject none since sept and I thought using a vain post of "look mom no hands, just legs" would get some chatter going again.
