Turning 10R around using the kickstand to swivel? Hi,
I was curious, in the past I have seen people turn their bikes around using a kickstand. Kinda lean it up & somehow spin it around. Anyone know how to do that with a 10R?
Thanks,
Rihc

Just lean it on your leg, make sure she's balanced and take it nice and easy until you get used to it. When I set the front down I always grab the front brake just to be safe. She may be a little front heavy like the GSXR is but you'll get used to it. It makes it so much easier to turn than the back and forth stuff.

Dude you couldn't break that kickstand if you wanted to! Concrete is the best surface to do it on, but asphalt works ok as well.

Ok, so I stand on the non exhaust side with the kickstand down. Should the wheels be pointed one way or another? Straight?
Then I pull on the exhaust side / throttle side grip? Pulling it towards me?
I am a little confused.

I would practice on a dirt bike a few times first. It may help you understand the laws of leverage. Go to your local bike shop and speak with the service dept or a salesman who may not be too busy. Its not as hard as you think. Kinda like putting a bike on its centerstand for the first time; just takes practice.
