Yes, when on its center stand, it should start under all normal starting conditions:
Neutral light is on, safe to start, regardless of sidestand position.
Reverse lever is not activated ('R' light is not on.)
If the transmission is not in neutral, the clutch needs pulled in.

Keep the rubber side down.

The center stand doesn't have a switch on it, unlike the side stand. The bike doesn't know (or care) if the center stand is down or not.

I was getting ready to say how good mine runs on the center stand. When weather is too bad to ride I put it in 1st gear and let it run to keep everything lubricated. Works good to put armoral on tire.

Yeah, this may be dangerous. Sure the tires will look nice, but basically lubricated rubber could prove disastrous.dingdong wrote:Robb, are you sure you want to do that?robb wrote:Works good to put armoral on tire.

Wipe in on, wait 1 minute and wipe it down. Two million road miles and never a cracked tire. Use dish wash liquid on show car, wipe it on and let it dry.
