'85 RT kickstand lean angle?

[schrocketeer]

1985 K100RT, very original. When you use the side stand, is there a substantial lean to the bike?
It's been a few years since I had my previous RT, so I don't remember what "normal" is.

Understand use the center stand to avoid small amount of oil getting in the cylinders, and smoking on startup.

"Normal" is when folks looking at the Brick say to you, "Is it supposed to lean over that far?".

If you're worried about it then it's normal.

"They all do that."

I was watching a Fortnine video on the K75 and there was a shot of the bike on its side stand.  It looked much more upright than mine.
I know this isn't a scientific comparison.  But there's no way the lean on mine is normal.

Instead of posting a photo showing the lean of a Brick that isn't yours, post one of your Brick, straight on at headlight level with as uncluttered a background as possible.

I parked my K75RT on the wrong side of the road once to take a pic. I parked it on the side stand about an inch away from the guardrail in order to keep it away from oncoming traffic. Some guy on a H-D rode by and saw my bike leaned a lot into the guardrail. Thinking I'd crashed into the guardrail, he pulled over and came running back to help me. I told him that I was OK, thanked him for his concern and explained that my bike just leaned a lot on the side stand.
