To get off the stand always sit on the bike first and just push forward and roll off it really easy and safe having both feet on the ground reduces the risk of drop if it gets the better of you and leans away from you if you are on one side.
That rather depends on whether your legs are long enough to be able to flat-foot the bike on both sides...!
[/quote]I can not flat foot both sides whilst its on the centre stand but can get enough toes on the ground to push off the stand and as Darrsi says both hands are on the bars and I have control of the front brake. Maybe its totally different for your FZ6 as we are talking about the FZS which is Ratters bike. Like you mentioned first putting the side stand down to put the bike on the centre stand which would just get in the way for me on an FZs.
When putting it on the centre I always make sure it is fully sitting on both stand feet as there is always the unintentional bias towards your side of the bike which could over time perhaps bend the stand making it increasingly more difficult to use.
Ratters thinks his stand may be off an FZs 1000 but aren't they completely different looking and should be able to tell just by looking at it.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
