You can lean the bike on the side stand only to take the clutch cover off, but do not even think about putting the bike upright for any reason once it's off And take the engine out of neutral before doing it.
I am not sure about what you mean?
Out the engine in gear, lean teh bike and take off the clutch cover?
Why put it in gear? Is it because its helpful if taking out the clutch plates, to stop it from spinning?
Thank you everyone for the help and information.

It's something you learn when you do it yourself, ie:me.
The centre stand is just for checking the oil level, at any normal time, simple as that.
On the side stand though the oil will lean to the left meaning you can have a look at the plates without any need to remove the oil, BUT, as i found out the hard way, as you mentioned everything tends to spin if you need to replace the plates so what you don't do is raise the bike upwards to put it in gear, as guess what.....the oil tends to all fall out on the floor!!!
Lesson learned :lol
