Could it be that the sidestand/lug has been torn out or partly torn out, through misadventure etc. ?


This is not an unknown problem in Commando frames either, I had to weld a repair to an 850 sidestand lug, and if left in that state they can tend to tear a piece out of the frame tube even.  Kickstarting on the sidestand is part of the problem here.


And if the sidestand comes down while riding, this can be even a fatal event.

Such treatment may not have the sidestand survive either...
