Yup, I've done as Jay's suggested. Take piece of wood and cut out holes for oil-filter and oil-drain bolts. Then shape wood to extend and touch across swing-arm pivot. Then use scissor-jack with centre below somewhere between oil-filter and swing-arm pivot so bike is balanced on top. Even then, it's still tipsy top-heavy and scary.

Physics dictates that 3 contact points are most stable. Three-legged tables are more stable than 4 and can sit on uneven surfaces.

Lifting bike by 3 points, such as rear swingarm stand along with stem lift in front is most stable. Or I like hanging front end from ceiling rafters.
