Hi Guys
Since my XRV 750 does not have a center stand I am beginning to mount the bike by first standing on the foot peg and then it is easier to swing my leg over
This is due to laziness and ageing and possibly back rack luggage
What concerns me is am I putting additional strain on the side stand as I see it does have a bend in it
and I would not like it to fail on me
Regards
