Centre stand collapsing

[JMax92]

1992 VMax 1200, 60,000miles
A few weeks ago I noticed it getting harder to push the bike of the centre stand.
I thought I was just getting old, losing muscle condition and maybe it was all me.
But yesterday when I went to my bike, I noticed it was leaning to one side and the centre stand was not evenly on the ground (one Leg was off the ground, ie it was leaning onto one leg as if it was a side stand).
It looks to me like either the mounting hardware for the stand is wearing through, or the stops on the stand are worn through, and so the stand is swinging too far forward.
I have been riding and using (lifting the bike off and on) the stand pretty much five days a week for 5 years.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with their centre stand?
Thanks, Jason

That thing is pretty-stout. I'd wonder if you have a flood bike, it has a rotting frame and stand. I've seen one VMax bike where a downtube was rotted clear-through.

Have you looked underneath and see what and where it is collapsing
