In the August issue of motorcyclist magazine on page 94 they acctually give a detailed description on how to do it. I was alittle worried to do it the first time but its really not that hard to do....

 

I do it all the time with my YZF, haven't yet on the CBR, but that's only because it's up on stands being rebuilt right now.

Easy steps to do this.

1. Start on left side of bike and grab the handlebars.
2. turn bars full lock to right
3. put your right hip up against the tank
4. Pull the right handle-bar towards you and the bike will come up on the stand
5. have to do a little balancing act to get the whole bike up
6. Keep the bike tight against your body and start stepping backwards, will just spin around.


I've heard it will bend your kickstand after repeated use, but for every once-in-a-while it shouldn't be a big deal.

 

At the end of this video, about 4 min long, the dude spins his Busa on the kickstand!

4 years on my kickstand and no problems. so i'd say dont worry about it

 

i don't have time/patience to austin powers my bike out of tight spots. 180 all day

 

It doesn't look that hard...

 

i tried it today ..was effortless ..so easy ...but really cool

 

yay, i did it...it was easy....picking up the front is the hardest part, after that it moves where you turn...makes you look strong, lol

 

I did it for 2 years on my 97 superchicken, and that's a almost a 500lb bike...well, 460ish. I have to do it because I'm only 5'5 and to walk the bike backwards and then jump on seems a little embrassing. On the 6RR, it's super easy and it's sooooo light. A trick my friend thought me is put your hip right next to the middle of your gas tank, makes the bike a little more easier to balance. But once you get it down it's easy.

Oh, something off topic here, carry a pringle top in your compartment. When you have to park your bike in a dirt cover parking lot or grass, it keeps the kick stand from sinking into the ground.

 

+1 on the pringle can top, i have a crushed can i carry around. its also good on hot asphault
