At one time I had 3 bikes in the garage on their center stands (last year). I had my Beemer parked immediately behind the Bandit. Not quite far enough back, unfortunately. I went to ride the Beemer, rolled it off the center stand, its front wheel touched the rear wheel of the Bandit, the Bandit rolled oh so gracefully and in slow motion off of its center stand as I watched in horror as it balanced for a couple of seconds and then fell like United 93 onto its left side.
Sh!t sh!t sh!t!!!
At the time I didn't have sliders on it, so the left case cover got slightly marred, BUT the Helibars I'd just put on were extended enough to prevent the fairing from hitting the ground. Just messed up the weight on the left handlebar.
Here's some advice...
Only park on concrete--if not possible, carry a little 3X4 piece of board or steel to put under your kickstand and give you a bigger "footprint". Great for soft asphalt or dirt/gravel.
Put a crash bar or frame sliders on the bike.
As Father's Day, birthday, and Christmas approach, you have
finally something useful to ask for, which is sliders and/or starter gear cover & gasket, maybe left side fairing?

OH! And don't leave your bike on the centerstand in the garage!
Edit: I just noticed you have a Canadian 650, so you may have to hunt different links up there to the same sort of things. But you get the idea. Fix it and don't let it fall again!
