Side stand sinking in soft ground or hot tarmac?
You can buy a pad to put under the foot of the stand the problem with this is picking the thing up when your Sat on the bike
That's easily solved by tying a bit of string to the pad, but then you have the tangle next time you go to use it or get anything out of the same pocket as the pad
Here's my answer to the problem Drill a small hole at one end of the pad and make a recess on both sides of the pad I used 15mm copper pipe heated with blow torch,
Next I used about one and a half meter of three mm bungee cord tie a loop at each end one small just to attatch the cord to the pad the other loop just tie to fit the recesses you have made in the pad
When finished you can wrap the cord round the pad slip the loop over one end to keep it all tidy You can keep it in your pocket and not get tangled up or you can attach it to your bike Use it just like you would use a beer can under your side stand but slip the bigger loop over one of your hand grips
If this helps stop one bike from hitting the deck it was worth putting up
