I did that and it work well. Just make sure the bike is balanced when you jack it up. I used a scissor jack and wood.

If you are going to do that, make sure that the block of wood extends equal to or past the very edges of the engine case...otherwise you can damage the pan AND drop the bike over. And obviously you will need to balance the bike..sketchy, imo.
I jacked the rear of the bike up in this way in order to swap my swingarm. I'd really suggest a front pin stand for what you are talking about.

I straped the back of the bike to the floor, took 10min and worked great, You could run full speed into the side of it and it would not fall over..lol
