me too. Wearing a glove while gripping the part works better.

I'd watch my fingers with heat off the pipe.
Hard to see with this pic, exhaust not that close, so heat not an issue. The surface on that part is softly rounded and wide, so glove not needed. It's closer to center-line of bike so you're not lifting bike sideways and it's higher so you don't have to bend down as much as with the pass foot rest, which is not comfortable in the hand.

My friend showed me how to lift the bike. First, don't use your front part of your foot...use your heal. Put your heal on the round part of the stand, then just push down. Works great. You will be facing the rear of the bike when you do this. Just hold on toe the grab bar...push down with your heal and the bike will just pop up. My friend is a very small man. Prior to this I always just faced the bike..put the ball of my foot on the side stand...and then pushed down holding the grab bar.
Now...is this clear as mud?
