The S-10... love child of a dirt bike and an FJR?
My S-10 is considerably easier to get onto the center stand than my '10 FJR was. (I weigh about 160 pounds -- seems to be about the borderline between having enough weight for the bike to just "roll up" by itself when you stand on the tang, and for it to just kinda sit there.) I usually have to pull up a little bit, depending on the ambient slope.
One thing that makes the S-10 easier is the height of the grab rail. I can stand on the CS tang, and have a straight arm and back (important!) with my hand on the pillion grab rail. I hurt my back badly trying to get the FJR up, because it's so low, and I had to bend at the waist to reach its grab rail.
