I must admit, I've never really paid attention to it before. Last night I was working in the garage and noticed that the foot doesn't sit flat against the floor. Is that design intent? Or is something wrong with mine?

...and the angle of my dangle:

Looks quite upright like it's been lowered or has a longer side-stand. That a stock characteristic of the model?

Yeah, I'm looking for feedback since this is the only Monster I have ever owned, and I am not sure what normal is. The front forks have been lowered by 1", but the rear has been raised by 1". Since the kickstand is in the middle, I would assume that the suspension adjustments would wash out.
The last picture is a little deceiving since the picture frame isn't perfectly horizontal. Sorry about that. Look at the lines in the garage door to measure the angle of lean.
I agree with koko, looks a little upright but not too bad. As for sitting flat, I don't think it needs to be completely flat so long as it's making contact with the ground. Mine doesn't sit flat on the "foot" every time and I've not had a problem. The lean angle is most important fro stability, I think.
How sturdy does it feel when you rock it slightly? (Note: don't rock it too hard because you don't want to stress the stand.)
