The trick to getting any bike on the center stand isn't about pulling backwards at all. I find the rx3 extremely easy to put on the stand - way easier than my old CX500 or my V65 Magna. Put your right foot on the deployment pedal of the center stand. Hold the bike upright with your left hand on the left grip. All the left hand does is stabilze the bike, no pulling whatsoever. Grab the bike somewhere with your right hand as close to directly above your right foot as possible. Your elbow should be completely straight and your shoulder engaged, as if you are about to deadlift a barbell. Stand on the center stand pedal and keep your shoulder engaged. Don't use your biceps at all, the power comes from back, shoulder, and leg. Far bigger muscles than your biceps! If you do it right, the bike will literally shoot up. It requires no backwards pull whatsoever.
