Newbie question

I bought a dirt bike stand for my supermoto bike so I could do some maintenance, one of these:

What I didn't expect was that once my bike was off the floor, it would be very unstable because it's center balanced. A light push on either side will tip the bike over. So what's the point of this thing?

What can I use to get at least the rear tire off the ground so I can change the rear tire, lube the chain, etc easily? I'd love to somehow install rear bobbins as I already have an adjustable rear stand but I don't think my DRZ's swingarm has mounting points for them.

Ideas?
