A trick I use on my Eldo is to step down on the curled part of the center stand while I pull back in the grab rail

Hi Richard,
It is also helpful if you have saddlebags to push rearward with your leg.
Lubricate the pivot bolts to make sure the centerstand works smoothly.

 Hi Richard,

I struggled with my stand for a while and I got so tired of calling to the
girlfriend to help me pull it on the centerstand....kind of embarrasing in
public you know :-)

I finallly figured the trick.

Step on the very bottom (back) of the stand. The part that touches the
ground. If you do that, get a good grip on the crash bars and get your
weight right the bike should roll up on the stand fairly easily.

Regards....Ian

 Since my newly acquired Ambassador is a first 'loopframe' for me I just
would like to ask one question? How in the heck can you put it on the
centerstand? Is there a trick that is learned?
