On Ducs, the sidestand boss is cast into the engine case......I watched a fellow snap his off his 999 last year doing that stunt.....and watched the oil pour out.........

I saw that happen at a trackday.

I've done it when I had my ZX11. But, not just on the sidestand... I stand in the front and put the weight on both the front tire and sidestand. And, just walk it around.

I wouldn't ever do it with my ducs... not ever.
