Hi guys,

I need your expertise here please as I've nothing to compare to. :shrug:

I normally use the centre stand on my 1990 pre Diversion / Seca XJ600 but when I use the side stand, it seems like the bike is going to fall before the side stand touches the ground. I learnt on an SFV650 and it didn't lean over as much as this. It seems to me that either it was meant to be this way or that the stand leg or the mounting bracket are in some way bent but as I say I've nothing to compare it to.

Please take a look and see what you think:
