    I can't remember the exact wording from the manual but I'm fairly
sure it's along the lines of "a paddock stand which unloads the
suspension", which sounds very much like a centre stand to me, if not
much like the more common form of paddock stand.  I read it through a
few times after the last time this was discussed so I'm more confident
than usual (which doesn't mean I'm right...)

    The wording may be shared with the T5 manuals, which could explain
why it doesn't specifically mention a centre stand.
