rem said:One thing that I have noticed, at least for me, is that it is noticeably easier to pop the bike on the centerstand if the bike is warm. If the bike is cold, I find it much more difficult. So maybe practice your technique right after riding, when the bike is warm. My Honda ST1300 was almost impossible to get on centerstand when cold, but not bad at all when warm. Might be worth a try.

That probably had more to do with by that time you were all warmed up, Rem.
There's no engineering reason I can fathom that would make a bike easier to get on the stand when it's warm than when it's cold.
Just saying...
