Hi everybody, I'm not a Maj owner, just a fan, been lurking...
But I do own a yamaha (a 1980 XS850) that I commute on, and I use the centerstand all the time. I've sat on Majestys in the dealer and popped them up and off the ctrstand with ease (since it's about 100lbs lighter than my XS850). using the centerstand on a majesty should not be considered a sigfnificant challenge, but it does take some technique.
I'm 50, 5'9", and 195 lbs. anybody around my weight, should absolutely NOT be having a problem getting the bike up on the centerstand.
A others have mentioned, I will reiterate: it is essential to step your full weight onto the centerstand pedal.
Also, staying seated on the bike, or straddling it is the most awkward position in which to use the ctrstand.
here's my method:
1. Standing facingthe left side of bike with the bike resting on the sidestand, place your left hand on the left handlebar end, and your right hand on the grabrail. (these are mostly for balacing the bike)
2. using your right foot, press the centerstand down into contact with the ground, so that one ctrstand foot touches the ground.
3. holding the centerstand against the ground, press your right knee against the side of the bike, and gently rotate the bike to vertical until BOTH centerstand feet are touching the ground. slight opposing pressure -pulling on the handlebar & grabrail, while pressing the side of the bike with your knee - aids control of balance. this step is essential, trying to raise the bike onto the centerstand while it's still tilted towards you and only on one ctrstand foot greatly increases difficulty and the risk of dropping the bike.
4. step up onto the centerstand pedal putting your full weight onto your right foot (left foot off the ground). you can pull up a little on the grabrail if you like. Up it goes!
Practice makes perfect, good luck!
