My V11 Sport came with an uninstalled center stand. I'm wondering if folks think its worth installing given some have said its a bit poorly engineered. Or if there are install instructions somewhere. No youtube videos on this yet!

This happened to me right after I bought my guzzi. The former owner and I started to take the back end apart and wasted a lot of time without success. I somehow found this forum post and based on all the responses, I solved the problem. Thanks Everyone! Like many others here, the root cause is the spring fell off the release latch. I have a fiber optic probe which I stuck under seat toward the very back on left side of the bike. The probe light illuminated the latch assembly. I slid ice pick in and triggered the latch to release. Once seat was off I wired the spring onto the latch to stop it from sliding off again.
