hey guys i have a question for everybody ! how the hell do i turn my bike around on the kick stand ? where do i stand ?(whick side of the bike )what do i grab ? i seen lik etwo guys do it while we are out but not up close and personal . and being that i live in an aparment this would help me park it but i cant figure out how to do it tried it about 5 time last night with no luck . and pics would be helpful hell even a video please .

 

i've been wondering the same thing. I've seen lots of guys do it and was wondering if it was a muscle thing or balance type issue. If it's a muscle the bike around then there's no way I'll be able to (female with little to no upper body strength) but if it's balance then maybe I could learn?

 

it's balance.

great find fuze

i think that way is harder than the way i do it.

ok here i go. turn the wheel to the right
pull down on the handle bars so the back end comes off the ground but the front is not.
now just walk backwards in a circular motion
the front tire dragging on the ground will help the bike stabilize so it is not teeter tottering on the stand

wish i could get a video for that but i couldnt find one

 

So that wodent Fck up your kick stand? cause i dont want to do it and have that sht break on me....

 

With my luck the kick stand would give out and the bike would fall on top of me. Id be laying there with my bike on top ofme crying like a school girl. HAHA!

 

I grab onto the passanger right side foot rest bracket and the left grip and pull it all onto the stand and the same time been doing it for 2 1/2 years now and i check the stand and th bolt on a regular basis and its just the same as it was the day i got it.

 

no its not gonna **** up ur stand at all .. cuz this is the way they tell u on the instruction of the back of the chain lube bottle i got from honda .. just for ppl who dont have stand .....what i do is that i grab the belt that goes around the passenger seat wand lean the bike on the kick stand like im gonna lube it and then spin it around the stands . it only takes couple seconds so it realy doesnt do that much stress on the kick stand .. i will try to post a vid for it .
