I can't wrap my head around how to remove the later model kick stand ( 83") There is a locking plate, how do I remove that?
There are schematic drawings on several sites.

You can try to tighten it but the bearing surface gets worn and or bent, best to take it apart so you can see if the stand is still a reasonable fit on the bung or if the bung is bent.Does bolt #20 tighten on in or does it bottom against something? I'd like to turn the bolt a couple of flats and tighten my kickstand because I think the bike is leaning too far when it's on the stand.
