Useless Center Stand

[Big Nate]

For some reason I can't seem to get my big Kat up onto the center stand. Any ideas would be appreciated because I'm about to remove it. I've never had any problems with center stands on other bikes.

hint... don't pull up, pull the bike backwards as you use your foot to push the center stand downwards... if that makes sense. once you get it, you will realize how easy it is. I removed mine anyway, i only install it when i need too

I took mine off as well, however, the piece sticking out the side....step on it with all your weight and pull back on the bike. It'll go up no prob.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

ya i dunno how big you are big nate but it takes a little effort and practice, i rock the bike back and forth just a little while holding the center stand down with one foot..one hand on the forks and another on the backseat grab bar..after 1 or 2 swings it has enough momentum to easily wing back enough for the center stand to slide under the bike and there ya go. i think it is actually REALLY useful..no pitbull stand needed and you can lift ur bike up anywhere for anything.

Wish I still had mine on but with the SS2R pipe its a no go.

If you follow Ranges directions and still can't get the bike on the stand just throw it in a lake.

you should be able to do it once you get the hang of it. I snap mine right up, and do it with my bad foot....the one with a pile of screws holding my ankle together.

After I read this I went out and tried it... and it worked. Thanks D-Pal for showing me this link and Thanks to Range for putting it out there. I don't think you need a video.
