lean angle when on kickstand?

Not exactly on the scooter topic, but definitely scooter related. My honda nighthawk seems to lean alot when its on the kickstand. my old scooter did lean too, but because i had the kickstand welded an inch short when i dropped the front.

Anywho, I was just wondering if there is a certain angle, a sweet spot, that Two wheeled vehicles should lean at that makes them the least resistant to falling...

P.S. no, my bikes have not fell cause of the angle, yet...

Most street bikes lean less than off road bikes due to uneven ground. That's about all I know. I know your nighthawk is a street bike so I don't really know why on that.
