The center stand is a support mechanism on a motorcycle that allows the bike to be parked upright and stable when not in use. Mounted centrally beneath the motorcycle, it consists of two legs that extend downward and a pivot point that enables the stand to be deployed or retracted. When the stand is engaged, it provides a secure base, making it easier to perform maintenance tasks, such as tire changes or chain adjustments, and ensures the motorcycle remains upright and balanced while parked. The center stand is typically operated by the rider’s foot and is often equipped with a spring to assist in its retraction.
