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?
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
