I have been unable to put the bike on the center stand the "conventional" way. The gas tank is not even full. I am 210 lbs and almost 6 feet, I should be able to do that...
I almost dropped it.
I was getting frustrated, then I happen to see the ramps I use to check things under the car and thought that might work.
It works perfectly. The engine needs to be running to get the bike to climb the ramp, or you are going to need serious help to push the bike up the ramp. I stopped just at the beginning of the flat area at the top, held the bike with the front brake, put it in neutral and turned off the engine, and the bike went on the center stand very easily.
