Centerstand Failure?

[Vegasdrums]

I have a question about my hydraulic centerstand. It is running very weak if not at all sometimes. Sometimes it gives up and retracts while pushing the bike up. It seems like hydraulic fluid
pressure. any input? Thanks

I guess you do know that releasing the button even the slightest will cause the stand to fold immediately when it is not in the full down position?

There have been several failures just as you describe and most were repaired under warranty (i.e. infant mortality). The jury is out on long term life. Mine has worked flawlessly for over three years and I do use it almost every time I park. I do perform the pivot lube maintenance (clean and re-lube) every 6K and try to keep the main shaft clean of road crud. The only failure I had was when I was pressing the starter button by mistake.:p

Common problem. At least for me. My LT had center stand 3 failures in 18 months. Go to the dealer, they will replace it.
