I do the same. And my friends, seeing me getting on the bike like this, have always remarked that one day I will go down with a broken side stand. Their comments referr to all bikes that I have had in the recent years. Fortunately, nothing bad ever happened, so I guess, it is like you said - manufacturers have made their calculations right. :wink2:
On the other hand, the F800GS Rider's Manual says: "The side stand is designed to support only the weight of the motorcycle. Do not lean or sit on the motorcycle with the side stande extended." :surprise:
