If you put bike on front triple stand, you must have it on rear stand first. Or else it'll topple sideways and fall over. Seen this plenty at track as well. There's also trick to getting front pin in properly so it doesn't crush fairing.

Yeah, you can pull rear-end sideways in opposite directions, but make sure you do it in stages. Lift front end 1", then tighten lateral pulley straps. Then lift front-end another 1", then tighten lateral straps. Then lift front 1", tighten lateral, etc. Otherwise, there's enough slack in lateral straps that'll allows bike to fall sideways if you lift front end all at once.
