I usually put it up before I ride it.

Then you need to learn how to hang off the bike more so you can keep it from dragging.  

[GooseMan]

you know, I still cant get my bike ON the center stand! I should just take it off

 hows that make sense mate hang off more to keep it from dragging , if you need that lean angle to make the corner whether you hang off or not the center stand is in the way

[Red01]

Hey, YOU are the resident racer, you're supposed to know this stuff.  
IE; the more you hang off, the more upright you can keep the bike, so if you drag the C'stand, hang off more and put the bike up more.
You might have to invest in elbow & hip slider though...

I have no fanny line on my tire and still got the centre stand fixed and it doesnt drag.

[Herr Tod]

There must be something wrong with your bike I tend to drag the part of the frame where the jiffy is attached to from time to time, the centerstand would come about... 30 degrees before that Seriously, unless the center stand is halfway scraped off already or bend, there is no way to make a good corner.

[JmuRiz]

Just ride real slow like I do, no issues  
About the hanging off more issue, that just moves the center of gravity lower, to compensate for the lack of bike lean angle.  Blahblahblah.

Just take it off if you fear for scraping it.  I'll just leave mine on because I'm no where near that aggressive riding, and it's nice for storage

[Banditmax]

My stand might be higher cause i had to cut out a section of the left foot so it went further up without dragging in the chain because there was no cenrestand stop on my new waco exhaust..

[StangMATA]

I have scraped the bottoms of my pegs nearly completely off and my center stand has yet to touch the pavement.

PLEASE IGNORE MY SHITTY BODY POSITION!  



Still a ways to go before the center stand hits...and notice the smoke from my boot.

[gsxr400 racer]

yea i used to go through boots till i got tired of paying 300 for a set of race boots then i learned how to position my feet on the dam pegs feelers what are those most scrap those of the first day actually i remove them need the extra lean angle
