Nope...
No harm, at all.
Have you read the tutorials on getting the bike on the center stand?
Of course if you can't sit on the bike while it's up on the center stand it might be risky getting it back down. But it's all technique, not size and strength.

There is a techique that makes it easy. If your set on taking it off though, no... the Pre 600s mostly did not come with one stock. So no problem at all with the operations of the bike.

It just makes working on it harder.

Is this the best tutorial here?: http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.p...t=center+stand

I went through it looking for the video everyone talked about making, but didn't see one.
