When I bring the side stand up it will go all the up to the frame but it will not stay there.  I don't think it's the spring, tried to see if I could easily remove the spring and it's not gonna come off with my bare hands.  There just seems to be a lot of play in it like a bushing is missing or has broken down but the tech diagram doesn't show there is one.  Maybe the top of the side stand has "Y"ed causing it to sag.  Put some penetration oil on the bolt last night and hopefully this weekend I can get it apart.

 If I take a corner in town real short my stand will drag also. Never had it happen out on the road in sweepers though.

Not normal. Has the bike been lowered?

Is the stand arm tight up against the base? Can you tell if the plate has shifted?

Have a 2000 800 and the side stand drags on left hand turns.  It this normal?  It seems like there is a lot of play (left and right) in side stand it but the hardware seems tight.  Tried to tighten and loosen it last night and I couldn't get anything to move.
