Our motorcycle has a center stand. What should we keep in mind when parking it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The center stand provides great stability to the motorcycle by lifting both wheels or at least one of them. For it to fulfill its function correctly, it is essential that the ground where it is parked is well leveled. If used on a sloping or uneven surface, the motorcycle could become unbalanced and fall. On inclined terrain, it is usually safer to use the side stand, leaving a gear engaged.
