Now that’s a clean chain!
Great video!! It is true once you practice and understand how it works it's super simple. Center stands are a must for any bike!
Great video. I need more practice after winter break.
Well done! Thanks!
Great advice, I recently tore my rotator cuff by doing it wrong, being impatient and trying to muscle the bike up. Big tough lesson learned. I was doing this on my tiger 900 for the 5th or sixth time. I didn't stick with technique.
I’ve had center stands on a number of bikes but recently I removed one from my bike, because it required two people to employ it. Although I had larger and heavier bikes with center stands, this center stand was in some way so poorly designed that it wasn’t practical. On this bike I currently use a trail stand to lubricate my chain.
I always put it into gear and have the clutch pulled,,,,that was if i need to brake in a hurry i just let release the clutch and it works great....reaching over for the front brake means you need to adjust your balance and that can all go wrong. Very good demo effort and nice couple enjoying motorbiking life...great to see a lady being able to put a bike on a centre stand (or should I even comment on that these days :).
I have to say, you both make it look easy! I have tried about 20 times now and the bike just skids on the centre stand feet and won't go up on it. I'm exhausted from trying every foot and body angle and grip.
On a properly balanced bike it's easy but some bikes have been modified in such a way that it makes them really hard to get onto the center stand. If shorter shocks or lowering blocks have been put on the bike, that can throw off the geometry and make it harder. I had a 1970's Honda CB750 that had lowering blocks on it when I first bought it. Getting it onto the center stand was a chore. I had to roll it backwards onto a piece of wood to get the back end up a little bit in order to pop it onto the center stand. After removing the lowering blocks it got easier. Still not as easy as some other bikes I've owned.
Caitlin is cute, Let her do all your videos. Great personality and photogenic.
That looked easy. It does vary a lot from bike to bike. My old Gold Wing (1980) was almost impossible to get up on the center stand. I read that it is much easier if you park it with the back wheel on a 2x6. That worked. Then I replaced the sagging springs with heavy duty Progressives. No more problems
Thanks for a helpful, practical and instructional video. I've had many bikes in my life but never one with a center stand......until now!! I currently own a Triumph Bonneville T120. Frankly, I was avoiding putting it on the center stand because I was intimidated by never having done it. I was under the false assumption that I would need to lift up hard and jerk it back. Thankfully I did do that because I watched this video!! lol
Dat video quality tho 👌🏽 and bro does that windscreen do much?? Been debating on getting one for the highway
Very useful video! An old trick to keep that strong centerstand spring extended when you want to move it or remove it: bind a bunch of pennies between the stretched coils of the spring when you remove the tension, and the spring stays extended............................elsullo
When you stand on the Centre Stand Foot Plate your weight does help as the Foot Plate has a lever which multiplies your weight. Use this formula to calculate. The moment action on both sides of the lever is equal and can be expressed as
I’m curious about your feelings about having a center stand. Just got a Street Scrambler and wondering if I should add one.
The technique I found that works best for me is to hold the clutch in, put all my weight on the center stand, and pull up hard on the rear. Pulling the rear up uncompresses the suspension which allows the stand to roll easier.
Those boots are badass! What brand/model are they?
Use a rubber hammer/mallet to get rid of the dent in your front tire
Thank you, this is the best explanation I’ve seen! Can I just make a few comments?
