You'll get used to it, I dont know what yours is like, but the one on Liz's 749 bends and flex's when you put the bike onto the stand, I dont trust it one little bit.

I've read a few horror stories about the stands on the older Dukes, I cant remember which model it is but they automatically flick up once the weight is off the stand. Just be careful with it.
