How weak is side stand on new gen monsters?

[scooterd145]

Actually I park it on my covered porch and have to fit between the side of my house and my truck and car. I just ride between the house and vehicles onto the porch. I guess you would call it a "tandem" car port. Anyway, WAY harder to try to back all the way out than spin her and ride her out...

I don't back my bikes up while sitting on them.  It's a pain when your inseam is too close to the seat inseam.

I either ride around the parking spot (I've been known to ride on an occasional bit of dirt or jump an occasional curb) or get off to back it up.  The bike is just less unwieldy when I am not trying to tippy-toe it back on compromised traction (I have yet to pave my driveway, and the PO decided contractor grade gravel was a suitable substance to make a driveway).

Finally it happened to my side stand.
Came up to friend to top up  battery acid and he noticed that side stand is lose and needs to be tighten up. He tried to do that and noticed that main bolt is just broken lol.
Part that left at bike was so soft that it broken again when he tried to turn it off with pliers.
I am not sure if it was native bolt to this bike, but I don't remember anyone touched this part of bike so..

It has letter "L" on it's hat. If it's native not sure why it made from not armored steel.
Ended up with drilling out piece that left in engine lol.
