Does it come with a 'Put it on the centre stand' button too?
The LT had a centre stand button  :D

Really?!
I was joking. And I think you're not. Right?

The later K1200LTs definitely had an electric centre stand. ;)
It will only deploy if it's on level (ish) ground

I remember watching in starck horror as a guy put one onto the stand while standing astride the bike; unbelievable! But it worked...
I used to do that on my old 550 Kwaka,

Dealer has fitted a new stand and it is much improved, it doesn't lean on me when I am putting it on the stand, it still does not stand vertical though, needs 4mm packing under the left leg. The dealer thinks the original stand must have been twisted but the new one is as good as it gets.
