I have the correct technique, my stand is good but I just don't think the stand is perfectly designed or in the optimum position, look at some of the massive gold wing type bikes and how easy they look (at least to me) to put on the centre stand.
I’m the same, though I think it’s partly down to being very light… 14 stone gives a lot more leverage than 9 does.
The rear shock preload and dogbones are a factor too. If the bike sits lower that means it has to be raised more when heaving it onto the stand.
