Flat Footed?

ORIGINAL: be vertical
When you stop at a light you should have your left foot securely on the rear brake and the left foot on the ground, leaning to the left, with the bike in neutral. I am six foot and can get way more then double side flat footed on mine and I rarely do it, I would not worry about it, just learn to compensate.

^^ I did it a few times a day for a few months on my 06..........the bolt wasn't loose, but I could tighten it about 1/4 a turn. I took out the bolt and applied locktite to it just to make sure. Bolt was fine after that.
I do it a little less now that I'm living at a different house, and have a different job...........but I also put locktite on the kickstand bolt on my 07 as well, just in case.

honestly the best way to learning is to just try it....thats wat ii did. ii do not kno my xact height(dont ask me why) but ii believe iim b/t 5'7"-5'9" @ about 140lbs give or take...ii am not built in anyway...ii do have an atheletic figure(NO HOMO) and ii am able to turn it. SO JUST TRY IT...
tips or pointers....ii stand on the side of the kickstand & grab the handlebar on the side of the kickstand and ii grab the rear passenger foot peg on the opposite side,then turn(clockwise werks best for me) ive seen guys urn it CCW, ii can do it but just takes a lil more effort...
JUST TRY & PRACTICE

When you get really good like me, you can put the kickstand up and try it.
