I always use centerstands when park my scoots, I've seen too many scoots fall over thet were on the side stand. The center stand is a bit of a trick, Face toward the side of the bike the centerstand is on. grasp left grip and seat or rack. Step right foot at ball of foot onto centerstand pedal. Push STRAIGHT DOWN with right foot. Should pop right up on the stand, DON'T 'pull' the bike onto it's stand, that's how they become busted.

Thanks! I will try that...I was on the "left side" (or drivers side if talking about a car on US highways, lol) trying this - also same side as the centerstand kickstand is on - but I was using my left foot. I will try the right foot method.

I've also seen people put a scooter on the center stand while they were on their bike...like while straddling it. Does that sound right at all?
