I just don't see the swingarm being able to bend so easily especially from falling off just the stand. The bike would land up on the front fairings near the tank and that would take the brunt of the fall.

Got my swingarm in yesterday from night rider (thanks!) and it does appear that comparing distance between the arms at the ends is a different of 1.5-1.75mm. Hopefully this is the fix.
