I have to give kudos to all those guys who were brave enough to admit they are having trouble getting it up.
Kudos to you all. :clapping:

I guess I just don't get it...After getting my '08 last year, I was terrified about putting it on the centerstand after reading all the posts about the difficulty of doing it. So I go out to do it for the first time, and go through the routine that I have used since I got my first Honda Super 90 in 1968. Shit, this thing goes up on the centerstand easier than any bike I have ever owned!! It actually slid back on the cement in the garage about 6 inches because I over compensated. And I'm only 5'8" @ 180#!! As Bullwinkle the moose used to say.."Gee, I guess I don't know my own strenth!!"

Getting it up seems to be all the same , no problem there, What about getting off the stand. In the old days on my 750 Susuki GSE, I was able to rock back onto the rear wheel with a little gas and launch (I was very young and fooling at the time). but now I am leary coming off the stand, feels as if I could lose it what is your technique??

I'm repeating myself here but .... you have 3.5 inches and 60 pounds on me and I can do it, so it must be in the technique

I agree with the initial gripe. The FJR is a brute when it comes to pulling it up on the center stand. I've had a lot heaver bikes that hefted up more easily. Looking at the angle of the center stand when its against the ground, before lifting/raising- it's at quite an angle that has to be overcome.
Pull in to town loaded for travel, fill the gas tank, then park it- I about pull a nut trying to put it on the stand for the night.

Sorry, I was using "phonics" to mimic Bullwinkles Boston accent(I think :blink: ). Spelin mistacke intnshinal
Also, my tekneek to git the bike off the centerstand is to put it in geer, hit the redline, dump the cluch wile rocking forward, and hoping for a cleer shot out the driveway :clapping:

O, Woe is me!!
I actually don't mount the bike while it's on the centerstand - I put it back onto the sidestand first.
