Always put my gear on first before hopping on, starting up and off I go in no time. Never on the Jiffy Stand. Just don't trust them thingy. 850 lbs versus a holding stick while running...Yah, Right ?.

On the stand if the engine is cold to warm up a little and sitting on it if it is warm.

On the stand and let it warm up while I gear up in the morning, just the opposite the rest of the day, gear up, then start up. Don't ask me why, I'm a creature of habit.

I laugh every time I read the words Jiffy Stand.

A lot of Japanese bikes won't start with the kickstand down. That's probably the reasoning.

What's wrong with it? That side stand is damn strong.
