Center Stand

[ribbert]

What is a definate trick is getting the FJ on the centrestand while its on the lift table, but I have that figured, will post a photo later, 

C'mon Ray, we're all waiting with bated breath.

Red's technique is spot on.

My sister ( 5'8" 130 pounds) could hoist my '88 on to it's center stand without trouble, although she did punt a CB1100R earlier in her life!

She could also kick start my Ducati 860GT, proving that technique is the biggest factor with this sort of stuff.

The only other wisdom I could add is: practice with a helper steadying the rear of the bike and providing some assistance pulling the bike rearward while you get the hang of Red's technique. Our Dad did this for all three of us in the early days of our riding careers and it seemed to help.

Good luck!

Roll the rear wheel up on a 2x6 and then try it.
