This is a very nice trick, I could have told my ex about it if I had found this before, she called me in tears (she had a kat 750 like mine) cause she dropped it and had to call for helpers...
But for a normal man that use their physic a bit in their lifestyle, lifting this back up just by the grips is no real big effort. A friend dropped mine and in my driveway and it was really nothing special.
For those who watch TV a lot and work in offices without really never working out... It can be a challenge, know your limits, don't hurt yourself for nothing, the HOW TO provided should do fine. Don't be afraid of looking weak or anything, it's not worth hurting yourself. And those very same people, if you loose balance, it might be better for yourselves to let the bike go instead of trying to bring it back up right then... you might hurt yourself in doing so and even follow the bike on the ground.

I dropped my r650rser with all the luggage (bike and bags weigted an average of 200Kilos) last summer. It was dark when we pulled at the hostel in a small dirt street in Tilcara (North of Argentina), I stuck my left foot out and what did I found?NOTHING! there was a pothole I didn't saw. So there we went, me, my bike and all the bags. I tried to set my foot firmly on the ground but by the time I managed to do so it was way beyond no-turning point. The DR fell down on my leg and with the adrenaline rush I tried to hold the bike long enough to torn a muscle.I ended in the hospital an had to drive the rest of the trip with my leg hurting like h**l (3000 Km on mountain roads). The doctor said I was lucky I didn't broke a bone or my knee!
MORAL: NO MATTER HOW SHINY AND NEW YOUR PAINT JOB LOOKS ALWAS LET THE BIKE GO!!
PS: untill today I still don`t know who or how they put my bike on the stand again!

Thats great, my first day out I wiped going around a turn, wish I would have known this then. I was in the grass, and the morning dew made things fun. Oh well, live and learn. Learned to stay out the grass that morning.'04 600 GSXF
