It doens't run smoothly because it's not under any load. The rear wheel is just free spinning and the swingarm is at full extension. Its recommended that you don't run your bike in gear while on the centerstand.

Agree with Idodirt - not something I would do, except for lubing the chain at idle in first.
( I use a paddock stand)
Even then it's not smooth...................
