I've had my Z for 4 years and have used it daily. I also climb aboard from the left foot rest whilst it's on its side stand when the boxes are on or when I have a shopping bag under the spider net on the pillion seat which is most of the time. It's also the way I get off.

The stand is strong and it hasn't loosened the stand fitment within the bracket. I weigh 95Kg and am 6 foot tall but my personal height and inside leg has never made it easy getting on and off when the bike is carrying something.

I did fit a 'big foot' for the stand's base plate which is something I wish I'd done from day one. It makes the bike so more stable when I'm dancing all over it.
