I use a section of 2x4 about 8" long that I beveled one end on. Put it behind the rear tire and roll the tire up onto the block. Then put the centerstand down and hold it to the ground with your foot. Then pull back and lift the rear of the bike using the left handlebar and the luggage rack handle. It comes up pretty easily that way. Regards, John Wishart, A14 KLR650 Monument, CO John Wishart T&V SW Engineer Hewlett-Packard Company M/S CXO1-2/N24 301 Rockrimmon Blvd. S.
