I bought the Suzuki brand centerstand and had it installed by the dealer. For whatever reason, I cannot get this bike up on the stand by myself. I'm no he-man, but I am 6'2" and 220lbs. You'd think I'd have enough leverage just by pushing down on the stand's foot while trying to rock the bike back. I must have very poor technique. It also freaks me out when I try this by myself that the bike will tip over away from me, pulling me with it. It sounded like a good idea when I got the bike, but so far I haven't even hoisted it up on the stand once.
