Side Stand design and collapse 2017 1000

[Min]

Has there been any answer to resolving the issue of the side stand where it's easy to have the bike off the sidestand and a drop while parking or dismounting.
It seems to have been reported as poor design and I wonder if there is an answer.

Have you altered the dog bones or height of the bike in some way?

Would this be parking on the flat, uphill or downhill  .........?

Never had a problem in the 14k miles I've covered on mine.

Can't recall how many times I've used the side stand in that time, but it must be a few.

Only time the bikes been on it's side is when the grounds level isn't matched by my leg length when off road

I wonder if you are referring to this post back in August, Min?

Side stands fine on mine. Just about the only thing that is.
If you want a scary lean angle try a BMW f650 Dakar on the side stand.

As some here will testify, in May I took a tumble off my TDM while parking on grass. I still don't know what caused it.
Now when parking, I check the stand leg is kicked forward and apply the front brake as I am getting off. If I am in doubt that the ground is level before I dismount I select first gear and ease the bike forward to take up any backlash.

Thanks to all the great questions and relies.
Bike is 2017 with on 4.5k miles and I don't think it been altered for height.
I think it happened due to a dismount in a flat carpark and riding forward on the stand which pitched me forward and over on to the LHS breaking the clutch lever. Brushed the dirt off the Range Rover next to me  not damage done to that.

I'm going to take up the suggestion by Brockett.

Also make sure the stand is fully kicked out and forward.

I always park in 1st gear and rock the bike forwards until the transmission stops it. And never facing downhill.
