Its longer so bike stands more upright.

Although the difference is in height is more practicle if you have a shock shim in, with a shim the bike leans over at a crazy angle with the standard stand.

Even more so when you fail to tighten a sidestand mount bolt..... :oops:
But as standard there isn't a shim at all.

A 6mm spacer makes it lean quite a way over, but it won't fall, on level ground.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
