Like, it's right under the peg and totally hard to kick out.

Any solutions? Aftermarket stands?
 
Catch it with the tip of your foot from behind the foot peg.

;)
 
New to the bike? You'll get used to it- I thought the Same
Thing coming from the zx10- I now have 0'issues -
 
It may be a lil tougher than most without the hideous lil helper post sticking out but this is the price you pay for the most beautiful kickstand ever.
 
I can't use my heel to engage it at all, so like the above, I come from behind/under the pegs and use my toes.
 
Yep I asked the same question ages ago when I got mine...


Same reply.... slide your toe in from behind....... (cue Prince A)
 
I can get it with mysize 10 race boot with the heal no prob. So funny cuz My buddy with his s1k switched today and once he wanted to put mine down I watched him struggle for a good minute laughing. Until I got off and put it down for him as I didn't want a scuff on the $3k Akra lol Then I woulda been crying.
 
size 10.5 US BMW GS adventure boots here and I can get the stand manipulated no prob. Just have to get used to the position and the gap where you have to point your toe into.
 
Coming from the back, using the tip (oh yes haha) seems to work best for me now. Thank you for pointing this out. It's not so bad anymore. I'm still rocking skate shoes though, so we'll see how it is with boots.

Speaking of, any boot recommendations?
 
Lots of good footwear out there. From the ducati line to the BMW motorrad line and everything in between. I like the TCX and Dainese line although my current fav are the BMW Motorrad stuff. The BMW RR racing boot is very cool I may try that someday. I wear the BMW Gravel boot as a commuter. Its bulky and takes some wearing in, but I tour in my superbike so best to get racing boot if you are a true sport rider which I am not. Ride Safe
 
If you get Dainese leathers, I am fond of the Dainese in type boots that go under the leathers instead of over. So comfortable.
 
In the beginning it took me some time with boots. While you are trying to catch the stand just act cool.
