You'll get used to it. I've had mine for nearly five years, & my foot goes down to the right position for lowering/raising the stand without even having to think about it. :2tup:

The first time I took my bike for a ride I was having trouble with the petcock because as I later found the vacuum line was disconnected. I stopped in at Walmart and as soon as I backed into the parking space the bike died and refused to even crank. I panicked thinking i was stranded and decided I need to forget about Walmart and give my attention to getting home. Thinking there was something wrong with the battery or starter I push started the bike and rode immediately home. When I drove it into the shed I put down the kick stand and it immediately died once again. Ooooooh! The light came on in my head and I realized there was a connection between the kickstand position and the engine shutting down. I felt pretty stupid.... If all else fails read the directions. :roll:
