The kick stand is fine - you just have to use it properly.
When parking make sure the ground is level or sloping to the left a bit - trial and error.
I have a 2015 ES, added the Altrider foot enlager and this actually raised the angle of lean and the bike sits more vertical
The foot enlarger is 4-5mm thick and the inner edge is longer than stock so it contacts the ground earlier on the heel. So i do have to pick my surface lean a bit more carefully and on occasions I have re-park the bike at a different angle, or change to directions like front in rather than reverse just to get a more stable lean on the kickstand.
