While we're on center stand...I use mine allot when I park it at home it is usually on center stand. What is the best way to grease the pivot points, bolts?
Chances are your centerstand has never been off.
I think the best results would be to remove the centerstand and clean up all the corrosion and install grease zerks.
With the bike on the centerstand , you can stuff washers in the spring and then when you bring the bike off of the centerstand and resting on the side stand the spring will be slack and you can easily remove it. Then just clean everything up , install the zerks, and before you reassemble, give all the pivot points a coating of grease.
You will be amazed at how much easier it works when it is clean and well lubed.
