I put a piece of scrap plywood under the back wheel and now it doesn't seem to take an unreasonable amount of strength to lift.



Roundy - Thanks for the idea - it works! I was able to get my scoot up on the center stand without throwing my back out!!!

Which is a good thing...

I've also heard the dreaded scrape on tight left turns, 2 up, but - I'd rather adjust my riding a little and have the convenience of the stand. Really beats dragging the bike to the ATV lift, or chasing it down the street while I spray the chain. Good job Rivco!!!
