Anyone have any knowledge on how to tighten my side stand on my 1100. There's just a bit of excess play in it, I've tried to tighten the bolts I can see but they're all tight enough. It's just irritating me that's all. 
Wobbly sidestand

There are a couple of thin washers which can wear on the inside face of the sidestand lug. Also the locking bolt can get worn.
I got replacements for my 1150GS from Motorworks for a few quid.
Grease well and move by hand after torquing - should fix it!

The 1100 has a different set up to an 1150.
The 1100 models usually snap the very very large hex head bolt that secures the stand plate to the engine.

I heard the small bolt snap years ago when I was dismounting, the bike nearly fell over on me.
Closer inspection showed TWO broken bolts.
left hand handed drill bit removed the smaller one, the larger one I ended up drilling completely through and installing a thread insert in its hole.
