The pivot holes wear elliptical and the stand leans forward meaning the rear tyre hits the floor. Normally down to people starting the bike in it’s stand check those holes first then check the stand isn’t bent.

I have the same main stand issue, is there a cure? Oversize pins?

I usually weld some 2-3mm thick spacers (coin shaped) onto the top of the stand.

I do the same, something the size of a £1 Coin.

I had this problem with my LC when I first got it, the rear wheel was sitting on the ground when it was on the centre stand, one problem was the tubes that the stand brackets are fixed to, the weld on one side was cracked so I repaired that, then I drilled the holes out in the stand and the brackets as the holes were oval shaped and there was a bit of movement on the pin, so it could take a slightly larger pin, think it was 15 or 16mm from memory and made a new pin to suit it, however this only improved it slightly and got the rear wheel off the ground, but only a little bit, so I welded a couple of 3mm thick washers on top of the stand and that sorted it, still good about 8 years later, common LC problem  |

Also....if you have fitted a YSS shock and extended the shock to raise the ride height then the back wheel may not be off the floor when on the centre stand.
