I have no problem putting my bike ON the center stand, my problem is getting it OFF the center stand.
After putting in on the stand, (which I can do in flip flops), I try rocking it off the stand, which was easy on my GL1500, but my GL1800 will scoot forward while remaining on the stand. (I have to get help to get it off the stand)
I have tried increasing/decreasing the rear shock pre-load and it hasn't worked.
The only thing I can think of is that the PO stated he had put a different tire size on the bike,
The rear tire size from the factory was 180/60/R16 now it is 180/70/R16, he stated that this corrected the speedometer.
Has anyone else changed the rear tire size? Did it affect difficulty getting bike off center stand?
I am about ready to get a ride off stand, but would rather keep it original.
