ok in reponse to the request for "The Tiger newbies guide to center stand manipulation"
Dead easy, though admitedly a bit of bulk helps.
1. Stop the bike, kick down the side stand, get off. :razz:
2. With the side stand still down and the weight of the bike still on it. Grip the left hand bar with the left hand, grip the rear peg hanger with the right hand. :-D
3. Place the ball of the right foot on the lever on the centre stand. :roll:
4. With the right foot on the Centre Stand lever push down until the stand touches the ground touches the ground. rock the bike away & towards you until you feel both legs of the stand touch the ground at the same time (this is the important bit) :-D
5. With both legs of the stand touching the ground, push hard with the right foot wilst lifting with the right arm and pulling back with the left. The bike will lift fairly easily onto the centre stand, without a hernia :-D :-D .
Sounds complicated but it gets to be second nature & if done properly there is no risk of dropping the bike.
To get it down repeat the process in reverse. I usually have the side stand down before I take the bike off of the centrestand, this means you have got to watch where you put your feet as it is painfull if a Tiger lands on your toe.
1. With the steering lock off. Grip the left hand bar with the left hand, grip the rear peg hanger with the right hand, lift & pull forward with the right hand while steadying the bike with the left hand. as the bike rises to its highest point stop lifting & pulling and let momentum & grovity take over, the bike should land gracefully (and gently) on its wheels. :razz: :-D
2. Lean bike on side stand.
Job done.
