The alternator drive rotor bolt comes loose causing a distinct rattle at idle, which disappears if you turn on the headlight. Plenty of info here on the fix and its easy.

I can't help you with the alternator. But as far as the centerstand, step on the lever and feel both legs contact the ground.......this assures you have the bike standing up straight. Now, stand on that lever......all your weight....hard bottom shoes helps.......the bike will roll back, and overcenter onto the stand......no reason to strain your back like I did when I was first getting used to it.

Good Luck,

Charlie
