hero blobs are on the end of the footpegs on a motorbike they are the small screw on bits underneath.your stand may be bent or the rear supsension may have gone weak or like bob says the spring may have lost is temper on the stand return spring and gone weak.flat tyres wont help it though check them and set them to 32 psi rear and 28 psi front.

its because you are getting more confident on the bike and leaning it over more when cornering...... there will be a part on the stand which sticks out these are called in the biking world hero blobs the idea is to wear them out.. have fun.......

or it could be the spring has come off the stand or it's gone saggy.
