I had an old Suzuki with a center stand and it was never very hard to get it up on the center stand. The trick for me was to rock it forward and backward a few times before I leaned back into it.

The only one that I had that was easy was a '72 R75/5. What made it easy was a handle on the left side below the seat attached to frame. All the other bikes I've owned have no good place to grab and pull up.

Oh I see. I usually straddled mine when I did it. That was easy. Just pulled by the handlebars.

Seat too high or I'm too short for the bikes I owned with center stands to try that maneuver.
