I am always helping if i am able
That's funny I didn't write it with an attitude, wow, I simply wanted to know the reason behind why people do things. And BTW no one has yet to answer my question of why is it important to not let the bike rest on the kickstand?

I park on the centre stand because mainly i dont want fuel "pooling" to left side of carbs and also oil in engine and i usually do a quick check on everything while is up there - after a reasonable distance ride i normally will lube chain - dont use chain lube (messy sticky crap - tried them all ) - 90 w diff oil - leave for 15 minutes or so and clean off excess with rag and check rear tyre and clean wheel- bit over the top with my cleanliness
Also use a service jack on front end regularly - check and clean front wheel , check steering head
If i didnt have a centrestand would use one of those racing stands - used to have one but Cstand is easier.
Much easier for me to work on anything up on stand - hope that has answered your question : )

That did answer my question, thanks. It sounds like you are very particular on maintaining your bike. I do that also but only when I store the bike for the winter. Call me weird but I like to hear what people do to their bikes, how and their reasoning. I have learned some good stuff over the years asking questions. I do apologize if I sound liked a smartass.
