....that's why I periodically lubricate the centrestand and sidestand regularly!! :nana
I do it at intervals something like every second chain lube. Only takes 2 minutes. Learned the hard way as usual. I did muscular damage to my back by constantly lifting a beast of an XJR1300 that I owned with a stiff centrestand. It took about 12 months to heal properly.
