Hi all, just purchased a Peugeot Metropolis 400 first registered Jan 2019. I have been riding bikes for many years, but had to give up just over 5 years ago due to back problems etc. Now back on the road with the Metrpolis and enjoying every minute. My only problem is getting this machine on its centre stand. If anyone has any tips, I would be very grateful for some advice as I'm finding it extremly difficult. Thanks for listening.
Welcome to the Forum.. Does it have a carrier at the back (or form of handle?),could be used to balance your efforts better levering it into position - side stand could be useful as well,might check for aftermarket attachments in both areas..
Thank you for your welcome and reply. Yes it does have grasp handles and a top box rack but two of us could not managed to get on the stand! The balance does not seem right somehow.
Was watching some microscopic girls jacking up big Harleys on U/tube other day - might be a good theme for research..
Ride it over a 1" piece of wood so just the rear wheel is on it, it raises the centre stand height before putting it down
