I always shut it down in nuetral and always depress the clutch when starting even in nuetral. If parking on an incline then I will leave it in gear.

You got me there, I just tried and I can't push it off the stand. Guess it's that's nifty little lock Harley puts on the jiffy stand.
Just how do you push a Harley off the Jiffy Stand?

RE: Parking
Usally in N but if Im on an incline I will leave it in first.
You can not knock one of these things off of the jiffy stand
My driveway has an incline and usally park in gear. One time I spaced and had it in N while in the drive. Was doing a little cleaning and the bike started sliding down the drive, but that stand didnt give up on its job.

RE: Parking
In first unless in the garage. Time for you to find a new and more careful wrench. Mistakes happen but I never assume that a bike is in nuetral and always clutch when starting. Even if the nuetrallight is on .... just in case the bike is in between gears or bearly in N.
