 Probably lost the spring take a good look at it. May just need to re attach or find a replacement. Just remove it or zip tie it  up if you have to order one. Personaly I don't ever use the side stand but those 500's are a bit heavy.

..take a look at the fasteners, and yeah, the spring....not a safe condition to have a saggy kick-stand....

..remove it and bypass the switch if necessary...

Get it fixed,  wire it up or take it off.  Riding with a sagging side stand could be dangerous.  Sounds like you are missing a spring.

You might step down on that side and catch the loop with you pant leg and off you go.

It could also dig in during a turn.

Serious.
