side stand length

[turkuss]

Can anyone tell me what the correct length a 2008 1200gs side stand should be from pivot to foot as the old girl is leaning over a bit further than she used to.
Also if it is bent can you just straighten it or does it need replacing.
Many thanks in advance

More likely to be worn pivot bolt and/or bush i would think.

Mine's the same, needs a new pivot pin and bush. The second time in 12 years ownership.
