I have to dissagree that any bike can be put on the centerstand by lifting!!
We lifted this one with a front end loader. :laugh:

Maybe you should print the address of the company who makes these...I think there are a few around here that might want to take a serious look at one of these in the next few years! LOL

100% correct. You don't need wood ramps, or gadgets to master using a center stand. It's a matter of using your body weight correctly.
People try to pull back too much when the trick is to step down firmly with their foot on the foot lever. They get scared the bike will tip over.
Left hand on handle bar.
Right hand on frame / grab bar...whatever it has on the right side.
Right foot on center stand tab.
Push tab down to touch, then stand on it with all your body weight
Using the propper technique, it is a simple process to place any bike on the center stand.
Just as it is stated above, momentum is your friend.
