Why risk it falling off various ways of lifting the front end. Plus I never like the idea of supporting a motorcycle directly by the motor rather than frame rails (which a Monster obviously doesn’t have).

I have used the ladder technique for supporting both the front and rear (when taking out the rear shock) but unless you plan on changing the steering bearings while you get the forks out just get an under head-stock front stand and use with a rear stand and it’ll be fine.

I got my front stand from here:
