There was a center stand on my bike when I bought it last year.
How many have them?
I dragged it a few times on corners and that concerns me a bit. It will drag long before the floorboards.
I use it to gas up but since I got a jack I don't even use it for cleaning.
I was told they cost about 300$.

I'm thinking - pull it off. Any pro/con's?

 

That's alot of bike to put up on a center stand. Do that 10 times in the morning and you could cancel your membership to the gym.
That said, if I had one I'd use it. If it scrapped, I'd ditch it. Don't mind dragging the floor boards, they give a little. But dragging the center stand is like dragging the frame, that would worry me and effect the way I ride. Just my .02

 

Yank it if it drags, dump it on EBAY.

 

Never had one and now I can't. I have the super premium oil cooler and it mounts in the same place. Have seen a few center stands though. Most say they like them but some say they do drag on aggressive riding.

 

They can make it a little easier to park your scoot but I gotta go with the group here - If it drags get rid of it!

 

Don't have one. I have seen them but I can't see a REAL need for it and at $300 bucks, that's alot of chrome! Ok it's some chrome.[&:]

 

When you use a center stand properly you use hardly any muscle. Stepping on the center stand lifts the bike up. You dont "lift" the bike up

 

I know it was no big deal on sport bikes I've owned in the past.
Also aware that it is more technique than brute force.
But 10 times in the morning is more excercise than I get.
Except pelvic thrusts. (not 10 times...just 10 pelvic thrusts[:@])
No 2 pump chump here

 

Don't have one and don't miss it.
If I need it standing up I'll pull out my lift.

 

As usual -

Informative and entertaining

The Bee-otch will be removed.

Thanks
