I've read that one should never kick start their bike while it's on the side stand. This makes sense to me that you could be surprised to not be in neutral and the bike could fall. (Are there other good reasons?)
However, there are several videos on youtube showing owners doing just that.
The bike is leaning to the left, resting on the side stand. They are standing beside the bike on the right (not straddling or astride) with their left hand on the throttle and jumping through the kick-starter with their left foot.
This is ill advised, no?
