A less exciting way for me is to press down on the center stand bar with your right foot, rock the bike side to side till it feels centered, reach down with the right hand and grab the aluminum support bar above the exhaust through the triangular opening, and press down hard on the center stand bar with your foot while lifting on the support bar with your right hand. Usually get it first time ...............
