Glad to hear you saved it...I've been there too. I tried to put mine on the rear stand with my helmet still on. My chin gaurd ubstructed my view, and the stand wasn't lined up the right side spindle correctly. As I pushed down on the stand, it tried to push the bike over on the right (non kickstand) side. I barely managed to save it with my grip on the grab handle in the tailpiece.. I've put mine on the front stand alone a few times. I might stop that after reading your post.
