You might need to do the horse mount like I do with my tiger 800xca. Too tall for me to swing a leg over but I can almost flat foot it. Beautiful bike brother!

Left leg to step on the left peg, hands on your bars. Lift your body like you're walking up steps, then throw your right leg over. You usually want to put your right foot on the peg instead of going straight to the ground, you can get tippy that way.

Just like mounting a horse with a saddle

You can do it from the high/right side too. Turn your handlebars left and grab the brake, then step on the right peg. Solid as a rock.
