Gary J has mentioned about scraping his sidestand in left hand corners; he says the key is to be extra smooth as well as getting off the bike a bit more so it doesn't have to lean as far. If the inputs to the bike aren't that smooth, it can cause the suspension to use a bit more of its travel and the bike is more likely to grind hard parts (which on the left side is the sidestand).

Quick fixes include adjusting riding technique to make scraping less likely, more comprehensive fixes include a stiffer shock in back and springs up front...
