Default side stand

question about the side stand,is there anything that can be done so the bike leans more onto the stand ,i presume cutting would be one option ,but id rather not cut it if i could.It just doesn't feel stable on the side stand.

If you don't want to cut it the only really option is to buy an adjustable stand which are fairly pricey.

I've never heard a complaint about a sidestand unless the bike is lowered.

IF you MUST cut, Im thinking the thickness of the blade might be enough material, then weld.

Just strategically park on a slight decline sloping away from the left side. No cutting and welding needed!
