Are you the original owner? If not, the previous owner may have lowered, shortened the stand, and you raised? Anywho, that lean looks like a little much, but not excessively so.

if it was dropped, the kickstand was most likely modified.. probably cut an inch or two off of it. when you lower a bike, the kickstand has to be shortened to get the bike to lean, otherwise it stands straight up, anda gust of wind could just knock it over. you should look for one of these guys parting out a stolen bike [:@]and get his kickstand

I would get a new kickstand Original length.
Previous owner must have shortened the K/S whenit was lowered.
Can you check tosee if you can get the original one back if it was replaced and not cut.

Stop counting lol Unless you are fixing it to sell. Once I get one mod done I find another I want lol. Its a never ending cycle.
