It also says to keep it on the center stand, but I can't really figure out what kind of witchcraft I need to use to make it work (I weigh like 90 kilos and still cant get it ontop of it).

I also do the fill tank completely, add marine formula Sta-bil and run in through the carbs. I've also used Starbron and Biobor's brands with good results. Always with zero ethanol fuel. I suppose that I wouldn't need the ethanol treatment type of additive, but the regular old style Sta-bil seems hard to find.
Unless a gas station has a separate E0 pump, or is a scarce all E0 station, you can bet it's E10 or worse. At least in the US. Unleaded comes through the pipelines without ethanol at either 84 or 90 PON. Distributors have to add the ethanol later as it would quickly corrode the pipelines. I don't know if the US gov't is still doing the payola bonus on per gallon ethanol dosing, but there have been cases where stations were tested out at crazy levels of ethanol.1981 Suzuki GS650G

Originally posted by Rich82GS750TZ View PostI, and a lot of other folks, used to struggle getting the bike on the center stand as well. Once you get the technique down, you'll wonder why you struggled with it so much. I only weigh about 70k (155lbs.) and I can now do this with no problems at all. It's more about driving the center stand into the ground with your right foot (I stand on it fully), then it is about lifting or pulling with your arms. This video shows/explains it probably as good as any I've seen. Really all your arms do is gently pull the bike to the rear. If your stressing your back and arms/shoulders, you're doing it wrong.GS1000G 1981
