    The trouble is the bike when on a side stand is too straight up
    It has no lean
    If you lean on it when on its side stand the bike will fall over
    Happened to me a few times when I was polishing it
    Simple Fix
    Get a washer or two and put them on the bottom? I think under your side stand mount
    That way it will lean further and not a problem
    Also great when the road has a camber and you park the bike
    I was born with nothing and shore got a heap of it left

    How would adding washers anywhere on the sidestand make it lean more, not less?

    If mine leans over any more it would be very hard to get it up off the side stand.
    Yours must have been lowered.
    You would have to have a shorter side stand if it stands up too much.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    .
    I think it has to do with the rear shock setting.
