Without a centerstand on the 2008, servicing like draining oil, checking oil /coolant level, headlight adjustment etc are difficult unless you have a helper. Here's what I've been doing to assist basic solo servicing:
Two 2X4's placed under the sidestand makes the bike level. However it's precarious and could easily fall to the right. So I attach an adjustable strap to the the left side of the bike and secure it to anything that will keep the bike from falling over. Cheap and effective until I buy an axel stand. Hope this might help some new owners.
Cheers, Bill
