The stops on both the sidestand and the block welded to the frame wear, as they wear the sidestand moves forward and the bike leans over more. I rebuild the stops with weld with added metal and then test fit and file to get the side stand just going past the 90 degrees to the frame. You get the right lean angle and also if you accidentally ride off with the sidestand down it retracts when it touches the road before it has a chance to topple the bike over. At the same time you have to check the bush to shaft clearance as well as wear here adds to the lean.
