Even I had the same prob.. Riding in hilly sections was very irritating cos of the centre stand bottoming out resulting in horrible, teeth grinding sounds & fear that this time the stand must've broken, making me stop each time with a heavy heart to check it out.. Then recently when i was getting my ride(P220F) water serviced, I shared my disapointment with one of my friend, who also owns the same bike, and had come for the same purpose there... He just got up, went over to where my bike was & did exactly the same thing that u've illustrated, & since that day I haven't faced that prob. of centre stand bottoming out, and restricting turn speeds, and angle.. will ask him if he thought it out himslf or read it frm ur post, here.. Anyways...thx alot to U & Him for solving this big prob. of the clearance, with Bushing in stock position... CHEERS!! Ride Safe...hooo....yaaaaaa..... :-)
