That stand is on the wrong side for a KTM. You can only put the stand on the right side if it's an old left kick Husky. Or does your dirt bike just have a woody?

 
I stopped using the side stand for this reason. Instead I use the center stand as follows:
1. Dismount bike and keep left hand on left grip.

2. Face the bike.

3. With right hand, reach down and grab the lift handle on the rear frame

4. Lift rear tire off the ground using your right hand

5. While standing on your left foot, use your right foot to flick down the center stand.

6. lower the rear of the bike so it sits firmly on the center stand

7. Proceed toward the lunar lander (this technique only works in reduced gravity)
Dude, He can't even get the sidestand out. You want him to get off and try to hold it up and all this crap. Well it aught to be good for another Friday dogpile.
Post up the video on putting the center stand down whilst on the bike.

New look for the MSF? This might be quite the moneysaver, eliminating those pesky drops. I wonder if they teach a revised cornering technique?

(and yes, I learned about the side-stand on my FJR the hard way. Had just walked the bike out of the garage and was trying to climb aboard. Ouch!)
