Bike leans way over on side stand
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.

Re: Bike leans way over on side stand
It could be tire/wheel related but it is probably bent.

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