Almost right until the last bit. Should switch off the engine before putting the side stand down This is what I was taught by the riding school, not just some random figment of my imagination as above

Because its very easy to accidentally knock into first gear whilst attempting to put side stand down, hence switch off engine first otherwise she pops forward!
