The Riding originated on horses (maybe on camels to some) And horses are always mounted from their left side, and hence motorcycles also.

More than likley because the kickstand is on that side, so rather than walk around the bike to get on it you just get on from that side.

Is your kickstand up? Some bikes have an automatic shutoff that will not allow the bike to go if the kickstand is down.
on its kickstand, atleast on a level surface if you have one, doesnt have to be perfect, but close enough
Is the kickstand still down? The kickstand must be up in order for it to go into gear without dying.
On my 2006 it is located on the left side of the bike on the bottomto the rear of the kickstand under a fairly large metal cover.
If your problem is that you cannot stretch the spring enough to reach the holes on the kickstand as well as the small hole under the motor, you might try taking the kickstand off by removing the 1/2" bolt from the top of it, thread the spring into both holes and now you should be able to get the leverage necessary to stretch the spring and put the kickstand back into its mounting hole and the bolt back in.
