Not really technique in my case. I have almost no muscle/strength/cruciate ligament in my right leg and a completely worn out knee joint. If the bike ever gets to tipping point when being pushed/pulled, theres nothing I can do.
Even my cbr600 has caught me out on a few occasions, during off bike manouvering.
590lb is nearly 270 kg - nearly 100kg heavier than a new sports 600 (wet) 
.
iv got a lot of mussel loss on my left leg and am not far off from needing a new left knee due to it twisting when i walk
it not all about weight a bike i was riding a m8s 1600 cruzer other day and it much heaver than my Harley but it way better balanced and feels lighter
i thort i would have trouble at first but am a determined bastard lol
im just careful not to park it pointing down hill lol
i just neck the pain killer and force my self to do stuff
you only live once
it surprising how well i can hold it up if i over balance
and extra streanth you find
when you compare the new chrome bill to the pain lol
but i tell you what is a killer
the as i got atheritus is the clutch pull on a Harley when i get stuck in traffic its murder on my left arm
and hand
only troble i have moving is is if im trying to pull it backwards up hill
that said i am quite tall im 6`3 and as a weird side effect of the scoliosis /spinal curvature im abnormally stronger on right side than normal
so can pick the bike up off stand just with my right arm
