Is it just me? Gen 3 easier to center stand?

[bluesdog]

I have no problem putting my Gen2 on the center stand wearing flip flops. I have done it barefoot too.

Your center stand wears flip flops?

I thought of that when typing the post and wondered how long it would take.......you did not disappoint!

You must have done it barefoot in the summer. The folks south of the Mason Dixon are mostly bare foot during the summer, so I was told!!

It might be that the Gen III has less sag???? They did give it a little more front and rear spring after all.

Yes, it's lots easier if you get the $150 optional E-Z center stand. Salesman gave me a cracking deal on it -- only charged me $115.

The only time my center stand had been hrd to use is when the bike has been fully loaded for a trip. Technique and some strength required. If you're younger than 65 and can't get any year FJR onto the centerstand, you need to put the Starbucks down and go to the gym.

I can put it on the center stand, with it fully loaded, barefoot! I can prove it next month if need be....JS

Who are you? Fred Flintstone?? I can do it barefoot. Donno if I can do it with a fully loaded bike. Now, if I'M fully loaded, lots of stuff is easier.

You're on!

It's not unlikely I will get down your way sometime and see this.

I couldn't lift it barefoot in a million years.

The lighter effort center stand is nice but I never had a problem with the Gen 2 stand. Unfortunately they achieved the lighter effort at the expense of room for your heal when your up on the balls of your feet in the curves. I would rather not have my heal movement interfered with by the longer lever.

I haven't tried to put a new FJR on it's center stand, but my Gen 1 is a breeze compared to my C10 Concours!

How about if We send Barb on a Nation wide tour to teach you wimps how to do it, She had no problem getting an 05 on the stand. She weights approx 110 lbs, Mind you she does have ample upper body mass.......( ask Beemer Don if you don't understand that comment)''''lol'''''

 

[Bustanut joker]

Why are you calling barb a fat head? Yer a rude bastage you know that?

 

[Bearly Flying]

I'm pretty sure her "Head" is fine..

Hanging around with You and Odot pretty much makes a person rude, Dickwad....
