Dear AT riders,

 

I have just gotten my beloved bike today.But i am having difficulty in parking the bloody dinosaur on its main stand.Is there a technique involved?I stand at 1.77m and 82kg.And i just can't lift it off the ground.Please advise

make sure both leg are touching the ground firmly, b4 lifting the bike with strength standing on ya right leg

 

i weight at 58kg and have no problem parking a st11 on main stand, try it, it shouldnt be tat difficult.

Like wat rookie said. position urself n bike to make sure both pegs 'touching' d ground. Using urself as a 'lever' between mainstand & bike main stand holder. if u hav givi rack, even easier(better leverage); then like any other bike, lift up & pull back simutaniously..

 

Takes awhile to get used to but once done.. smooth sailing.. FYI, i standing at 1.69m & 76kg.. onli managed to lift my @t on 2nd attempt when i juz got my bike. lifting it up after dropping the bike is worst..

 

hope tis helps..

Try positioning yourself facing 45 degree to the right(fom the mainstand handle). "Looking to the box or back" ...Rock the bike twice. Third attempt ,,put on main stand. Hope it works!!! Still doing it for 8 yrs!
