dragging parts

I know this was up for discussion before but couldn't find it. My side stand is dragging before my peg touches down didn't do this before. Before my pegs would drag around a corner side stand surprised me so I turned my shocks up 1 notch didn't help so want was the problem before or didn't nobody figured it out yet.

Thanks
Jerry

Have you ground your hero blobs down so far that now the clearance has changed? Or has the spring on the stand gone soft so that the stand is hanging down a bit?

Somebody else had this problem to on there speedmaster or america
try the search thing but came up with nothing. The spring seems to be holding it in place that's why I adjusted the shocks up a notch think the rear end is sagging a little maybe.

Did you have a lot of good meals lately?

Just kidding, my guess is that the spring is getting weak. Probably you don't see it when the bike is still, but it is noticable as soon as you ride.
