Happened to me with just 130 miles on my 10R.

Stalled it whilst turning (coming out of a tight car park) and as you found out it is impossible to hold them up. I settled it down gently and the crash bungs saved me too. Scuffed belly pan and the hero blob snapped off and took the thread on the peg with it. With a new crash bung it came to £170 in total.

I actually think most of the scratches on the belly pan were from my failed attempts to lift it. Fortunately some guy helped me out.
