No. Or at least they weren't originally. What can happen is the stand itself bends, or the frame tube twists where the stand bracket is welded. Usually because people sit on them while the bike is parked or spend ages kickstarting a duff bike while it's on the stand. I'd better have a closer look!

Sidestand................

I am wondering, if I have the right sidestand for the bike?

It's very fiddly to kick down and it leans over too far I think?
