should I use the center stand and LOCK or UNLOCK the suspension?
Thanks.
Center Stand - as described in a previous post. Pull UP on the driver's side rear handle while pressing your foot DOWN on the center stand.

UNLOCK the suspension

every time I park.....unless I'm making a quick stop and just don't feel like it that day.
There's a Driver's side? Which one?Razz emoticon

The bike won't fall over if the suspension lock (hydraulic) failed. It would if the tilt-lock (mechanical) failed. The latter is very unlikely, but why stress the hydraulic bits.

Good call. Hmmmm..... Left side of the bike, opposite side the oil dipstick is found on? Nerd emoticon
