A motorcycle's centre stand allows the vehicle to be held upright in a safe and stable manner.
It makes it easier to carry out maintenance work such as lubricating the chain or changing tyres. Particularly on uneven ground, the centre stand offers better stability than a side stand.
When parking in a small space, it can also be used to park the motorcycle in a way that takes up less space.
Regular checks and maintenance of the centre stand are important to ensure its functionality.
