I own a 2012 ybr 125, I can't get it on it's centre stand I have tried and failed several times. I was wondering if it was possible to get a paddock stand to fit the rear off the bike, to make life easier when it comes to wheel cleaning and oiling my chain and other tasks.
I know I am a few years late, but I came across this post when I was also frustrated that I couldn’t get my Yamaha YBR 125 up onto the centrestand. After watching numerous videos I still couldn’t do it. I was relieved to see I wasn’t the only person with this issue. However, after stumbling across someone’s amazing tip online, I can now do it!! All I had to do was use the pillion foot peg with my right hand to lift up, left hand on left handlebar and ALL my weight on the centre stand... and voila! Up he went! No strength needed, just technique as everyone has been saying all along. Never been so happy.
I didn’t need to know how to do it for my CBT, but chances are I will for my test in the spring. Phew!
