Agree with Brian… suffered with oil creeping onto clutch myself… so if I put it onto sidestand I get it as close to 90 degrees without toppling over and wedge under footpeg the other side with trolley jack.
My technique for centrestand deployment: bungee cord hooked onto stand crossmember once on the ground and other end hooked onto footpeg or some low, stable part of bike. Stand to rear of bike and lift rear of bike by frame or rack on mudguard. Lifting by just half an inch allows stand to pull toward front and then it’s an easy and quick pull back to complete. (works for me)
