After the previous thread about if you use the side stand or center stand it got me thinking.
I always put my bike on the center stand when parked in its spot in the garage at home.
When getting on the bike to go I usually stand on the pegs and rock the bike off the center stand.
I try and always have the bike in Neutral when doing this. There have been a couple of times it is in gear and I can only imagine it puts a lot of stress on the drive train dropping off of the center stand. I try not to do this.
Also. Make sure you put up the side stand. Coming down from the center stand to land on the side stand is a sure fire way to put the bike on its side. AMHIK.
