I have a bikers pipe too. It looks like a spark plug and I keep it in my tool pouch.
Can you post a picture of it.
That could come in handy. :whistle:

Using the propper technique, it is a simple process to place any bike on the center stand.
Just as it is stated above, momentum is your friend.
100% correct. You don't need wood ramps, or gadgets to master using a center stand. It's a matter of using your body weight correctly.
People try to pull back too much when the trick is to step down firmly with their foot on the foot lever. They get scared the bike will tip over.
Left hand on handle bar.
Right hand on frame / grab bar...whatever it has on the right side.
Right foot on center stand tab.
Push tab down to touch, then stand on it with all your body weight
