I noticed the center stand getting stiff to swing up, so I lubed it, but today it's even worse. WTH!!,

Note that I used Wurth-HHS, which works wonders on chain, but didn't work on the center stand. I since used WD40 and seems to be loosened up.

Mine has stuck down a few times after splashing thru the winter salt water.  Just drowned it with WD-40 and it freed up every time.

WD-40 does the job for mine too..

Center stand? What is that?

You could try getting some "dry-lube" like this:

It coats the part and dries up so you don't have to worry about it attracting dirt or getting washed off easily.  I've used similar products on bicycle chains with high success.

Or, just hit it with regular ol' WD-40 once a month or after riding through adverse conditions.
