I didn't even know you can start the bike with the sidestand down. Never done it. Once in a great while I'd start it while on the center stand to get the grips hot before riding. I don't know what the story is with those grenaded right cylinders. Sounds more like people getting low on oil and ignoring it. In my many falls, no matter how bad it hurts, I reach over and turn off the ignition immediately.
