The side stand on my new S10 makes me nervous! There is so much squat in the suspension and movement in general when deploying the side stand. Especially loaded with travel gear. The stand is tight and operating correctly, but there sure is a lot of bike movement and lean when using it.. I assume this not new....

Increase your preload. That's the easiest way. ES or standard. Increasing the preload actually raises the back end of the bike. Put in 2 helmets and you'll immediately see the difference.

When figuring how much preload I need to use, I use 200lbs per helmet, and 50lbs for the luggage icon or a combination of. The max load for her is 450lbs and that's where I came up with my estimates.
