Kickstand...
Put it down BEFORE you get off the bike. It sounds lame, but a moment of absent-mindeness can hurt, even when the bike isn't rolling.
I thought I had put the kickstand down, but hadn't, and when I stood up and swung my right leg over the seat I quickly discovered the mistake. As light as the GZ is, there's no stopping it when you're on one leg and she's already over quite a few degrees. A leather jacket and a crash bar ensured that the biggest hurt was to my pride, but it was a lesson well learned.
