Hey Jet! I'm very wary of the tipiness thing. Got some dry pavement over the weekend and took it out for a few miles and tested my limits a bit at stops/starts. I'll be very used to it in no time.
But moving it around in the garage can get a little tense. It's a honker. I've watched some online videos, but have still yet to get the hang of getting it up on the center stand solo.
All in the learning curve.....
I'm 5'10 @ 190 and It's more about technique than muscle but does take some serious grunting.
More about pushing the stand forward with your foot and pulling the bike rearward with your arms than it is about trying to "lift" it.
I leave the side stand down as a back up just in case things don't go as planed.
