    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Getting it on the centerstand.

This thread being fairly old, the pictures are gone. I'd really like to learn this as I finally got my bike home today and I'm ready to start working on it.

Forget the pics. Here is the easiest way to hoist that 850.

With the bike on the side stand put a 6 inch length of 2x4 (or 2x6) lengthwise under the bike 6-8 inches in front of the rear wheel.

Standing on the kickstand side of the bike grab the handlebars, bring it upright, and roll it forward until the rear wheel hops up on the 2x. Then immediately squeeze the front brake to hold it there.

Now just step down on the centerstand and lift the the bike the rest of the way up onto the stand.

I actually ended up doing pretty much that last night. Sure made it a whole bunch easier having that little bit of a head start. It was still tough, but I currently have a broken rib, so everything is tough. Can't ride until this heals, so I want to get some work done while I have down time. Not going to want any down time once I can ride. Thanks for the advice, great minds must think alike I guess!
 
Keeping your back straight does NOT mean keeping it vertical. Keep a natural arch in your back, bend at the hips, step in the stand, push and lift. It's like a deadlift. Just don't arch your back. Very safe.
