Also, the side stand can be pushed off from the rear as well, with about the same force as the center stand.

No it cannot; not while it's in gear!

LOL

Oddly enough I have. LOL

I dont know how to explain it, but I will take a video later today and show you.

Basicly on the centerstand, push down on the rear and pull back to hold the bike against the center stand and just twist her around in a circle.

How do you do it on the side stand. I have tried but not been succesful yet.

It's a matter of balance in that you will be pulling the bike over on the stand which will lift the tires and allow the bike to be turned on the pad of the stand. I will caution folks that each bike (sportbike) is different and it does require a bit of practice but trust me, the looks you will get from folks that see you do it is priceless.

Here ya go folks and it's just that simple. I use the second way it is demonstrated.

Steve, how does the centerstand way work on rough or uneven pavement?

^cool. I was just not doing it right.

I have always been able to spin it anywhere I try. Its really super easy in the garage on smooth concrete. My driveway is pretty rough, and I have done it on gravel and in dirt as well.

I try to always put mine on the center stand except on very hot days and soft pavements (we do have a lot of those in FL). I just find the bike is more stable like that.

Center stand with both sides strapped down 24/7 (unless riding of course). Earthquakes are a constant concern around here. Take your chances when parked away from home.

When some of you use the center stand, do you also lock the steering?
