probably said but check for any rotting or rust, give it a good blast with a jet wash then copious amounts of spray lube.

Adding water then lube isn't the greatest remedy for rust to be truthful.  :lol

if its not too rusty its fine
just blast the junk off and then cover it up with some oily stuff to repel the water demons.

I find my Scottoiler stops the main stand from going rusty. Perhaps I ought to turn it down a bit ....  :book

Or get a second Scottoiler to stop the other leg of the centrestand getting rusty?

It's all in the technique, face the bike side on balancing the bike with one hand on the handlebar the other on the grab rail located just above the pillon footrest. As you press down the centre stand the bike will become incredibly stable, provided the ground is even. Put your weight on the centre stand as if you're trying to push it through the floor, at the same time pull the grab rail upwards towards the sky. The bike will magically snap onto the centre stand with the minimal of force, it's what it's designed to do, you shouldn't need to wrestle with it. You'll get there fella, all it takes is a little a bit of practice  :thumbup

Spot on. I use my left foot - any preferences elsewhere?

Right foot.
I can't imagine there being too many more options.  :lol

Depends how long your tagger is. That's why I use my side stand.lol
