KTM 990 - Manual (Page 34)

NOTE REGARDING THE CENTER STAND:
We advise the following procedure to place the motorcycle on the center stand as effortlessly
as possible:
a) press main stand to ground using foot
b) put your weight on the stand stabilizer and pull the motorcycle back by the footrest sup-
port (see illustration).
Make sure that the ground is solid and that your motorcycle is standing securely.
– The center stand is designed to hold the weight of the motorcycle only. By sitting on the
motorcycle, you will put additional weight on the center stand, possibly causing the cen-
ter stand or frame to be damaged or the motorcycle to fall down.
– Do NOT pull the motorcycle back on the center stand by holding the hand wheel [2] on
the shock absorber adjustment (it could cause the shock absorber to leak) but use the
footrest bracket [1].
