How do you get bike up on the centre stand?
I huff and I puff, but still my CB won't go up!

leon your centre stand should have an arm type thingy on the side of it yes.

put your foot on that and place the stand on the ground.

left hand on the handlebar and right hand under the seat just behind the shocker if you can. some bikes have a handle thing here others don't.
now push down on the stand and lift the bike with your right hand at the same time.
as it comes up pull it backwards at the same time.

it sounds complicated but it isn't, this should get you up on the cente stand.
if it doesn't someones glued you to the floor

Ahh thanks
I think I've been pulling too much perhaps, or lifting too little..
I'll have to perfect my trick!

Its covered in the CBT Leon, what Ima says is spot on, get the stand on the floor & push down with your right foot(as if putting on a wellie) whilst lifting up & backwards with the right hand.Dont pull with your left hand & keep the bars straight.
HTH

Ditto. Legs are much much stronger than arms and pressing the foot down is the strongest plane a leg can work in so just use the arms to guide and steady.

That's right, they take you through the process of how to get the bike onto the centre stand at your CBT. Once you've learned the correct way to do it, you'll never have hassles again. no matter what size of bike it is.
