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

Wheatie - are you PWI?

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.

Wow. That looked easy. Put that sucker in the Bin O Facts! :clapping:

 

[wfooshee]

I actually don't mount the bike while it's on the centerstand - I put it back onto the sidestand first.

However you do it, make sure nobody is watching until you get good at it.

 

[Fairlaner]
