I'm a new rider of the F6B but I've noticed when I dismount off of it if my foot is down and I turn my hip you start getting a pain so now I start I get my knee on top and then just roll any other suggestions

I can relate I'm old,short,and have pains in my hips when mounting or dismounting. What I have found that helps me is to stand on the kickstand side peg, or in my case the floorboard, then swing the right leg over. I take hold of the grips and as I step onto the peg/floorboard I center my weight over the bike so I'm not loading the kickstand very much.
Are you dismounting to the left or right?

With your hands on the grips, leaning your upper body forward like you are going to kiss your windshield helps too in swinging your leg over to clear the bike.
Floorboards I have not thought about floorboards do they scrape on the ground when you make turns I have the small windshield the original and I like the air bubble that it helps interns I live in Monterey California in Salinas and the roads are really nice but the wind keeps the bike down with the wind blowing in any direction especially straightforward like a arrow or like a missile kind of I've have noticed
Sometimes, for fun, I'll dismount the right side.
Both hands on the handgrips, front tire FULL left, kickstand down.
I stand up on the pegs, left leg and left arm come over and off.
Not as much pressure on the kickstand.

As a rule I step on the foot peg and climb on...same on dismount. Motorman style!
