[ST] Centerstand hell

["David W. Funk" <dwf@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been reading about people dropping the front 10mm with the fork 
tubes.
When I bought my 2000 Sprint ST, the forks were up in the tubes, close to 
10mm. The bike was hell to put on the centerstand. At the time I thought all 
Sprints were just very, very hard to get up on the centerstand. Later after I 
had rased the front, forks back to 0mm, the centerstand was easy.
Just a warning.
I raised the front because of ground clearance problems. My lower fairing 
was dragging from time to time. I have also adjusted the preload, and the 
rear shock, so may be I could lower the front again. But I am happy now, and 
really did not like the effort the centerstand required.
