Side Stand advice

[Hairyweasel]

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh in my reply, it wasn't intended that way and you are correct a few days off would be the thing for a fresh injury.

Quick update, elbow still hurts like hell but it's been a static pain since starting to use the stand rather than getting worse every day.

Phill Elston, I just PMSL with your description on how your wife mounts your bike. My wife is sitting next to me asking what I am laughing at, I read it out to her. She smiles probably thinking that is how I see her. I might try this technique.

Sidestand down left leg on the peg get me leg over...done it for years on all GS,s I have owned. Simples no problem

I mount this way too - double hip replacement.

I've always mounted pillion second with side stand assist on VFR, 2x FJR, a 1200R and my GS. Use your left leg/thigh to take some of the load too.
