Bike leans way over on side stand

Post by Dmerc »

Was wondering if this normal or perhaps my side stand s bent. Side stand has a curvature but I don't know if this is normal.

It could be tire/wheel related but it is probably bent.
A couple repair methods here.

Side stand should be straight. Take it off and put in vice. Put large pipe over it and tweak it back straight.

Hey, you’re going to miss out on hearing the fun popping noises from your joints that way. :D
