Yeah - I've seen the same thing. I would only use mine on a level surface 
(or with the back pointed downhill). It takes very little effort to push 
mine off the center stand. I would never leave it unattended that way. The 
pre-recall stand was great, but went over too far and was causing damage to 
the frame. The new stand compensated by not going over as far. Maybe they 
have made a change to 2000+ models.

I use my Skyking stand for maintenance anyway as it gives me a few extra 
inches of height.
