It just may be your technique. Put your foot on the centerstand pad, right the bike and get the pad centered. Then lift a bit with one hand on the handlebar and the other on whatever you can grab at the rear (luggage rack is perfect if yours is fitted for system cases). Put your weight down solid on your foot that's on the pad. Give it a lift all together....it's kind of a timing thing. It should come up pretty easy. Your 180 lbs is plenty if you do it right unless you are physically impaired in some way. I can do it with my 210lbs but most of that is fat in my head.
I have valve stems that fit the bike but don't remember what size it is. The recess that fits into the wheel hole mics 15mm and it says "A TR 412" on the inside. Hope this helps.
