Question; When I lower my side stand it is in one position. When I lean the bike on it the side stand kind of slides a bit sideways. When I checked it by hand it seems the side stand bolt is tight but the but the stand has lateral play. Is that normal or a sign of abuse/excessive wear?

My 1150 had 1200 miles on it when purchased, and the stand did the same as you've described. If its a concern to you, it couldnt hurt to remove it and thoroughly inspect it though. A little grease on reassembly couldnt hurt either...sigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

Before I was forced to weld mine on there were two bolts holding the stand to the frame.
Did your bolts come loose?
You will have to get down to see them.Comment

I figured it out. The stand and brackets are worn after 35 years. Welded some metal to the worn areas and filed it down so they fit together. Now it is ok. Plus I added 1/2 inch of steel to the bottom of side stand. Now it stands much nice than before.Comment
