A Lift
B Press a lever with your foot
C Roll into a chock
I will got with B for $200.
Seriously given the frequency of posts about back issues I wanted to provide a PSA
as a reminder to anyone that is riding with a back issue to be a friend to your future self and stop TODAY from lifting your bike on the stand. Your L5 and L4 will thank you.

Usually I just lift and put it on, but If I try 10 times to front wheel wheelie on to stand, I can land it, prob 3 times.
-Left hand underneath the bottom of the left fork leg
-Pick up front of bike. pivoting on rear tire which is still on ground
-Put on custom milk crate I stole from back of Albertsons 25 years ago.
by the way...if your back hurts too much to put your bike on a stand ,well...
PFF, Tie down and lean it away from the truck... BOOM easily allows me to do more motos as im saving energy by not lifting it every 15-20min when i get off the track.
If you guys are having trouble lifting a motocross bike three inches onto a stand, you're doing it wrong.

RE: .if your back hurts too much to put your bike on a stand ,well... this would apply if we are talking about "normal" folks not those of us that have the MX addiction.
Grab the front break with my left thumb and hand from the right side of the front wheel. Reach down with right hand and grab the front spokes half way down and at their cross, lift bike from the front wheel and set bike on the stand.

Grab whatever and where ever...at least as long as its not hot
Even so, it's pretty easy. Angle the bike so it's at about a 45 degree angle to the stand, with the front tire right about where it will be when the bike is resting on the stand. Lean the thing toward you while pulling upward on the rear fender/seat junction. While doing this, give it a little "bump" with your hip and the thing will go right up.
The biggest mistake I see people doing is trying to "lift" the bike from right next to the stand. That's like trying to curl a 200 lb dumbbell with your right hand. The trick is to use the hip.
