They are wide! Measure between the bikes spools. Take the stand to an auto shop and they will use a port-a-power to spread the stand wide enough for you to use.
I use the venom stands. Fits both my Buell and EBR. They aren't anything special, but they get the job done with no issues.

Another option since the RS has GP style mounts under the rear axle, you could just get some GP spool brackets for the stand you have and it will lift the back tire a good amount higher (which can be good or bad). I have both and I prefer the wide stand as it feels more stable but the GP is a little easier to line up and do by myself.
The wide stand needs some bobbins with an inner lip otherwise the swingarm will get scratched as the stock ones are sized for crash protection only. I have these: https://www.rg-racing.com/browsebike...wards/ITBO001/
