I haven't done the stand mod. Have had the Busa for 4 yrs without a problem.
1) EVERY time I park I put the stand down & then kick it forward with my foot to make sure it's against the stop. Then with my foot against the stand I pull the ke backwards slightly to double check.
2) I NEVER park with the front pointing down hill. Not even the slightest. I always position the bike so that the front is pointing up hill OR park somewhere else.
3) I never park on grass, soft dirt or gravel where there is a possibility of the stand sinking.
The only time that it will fall off the stand is when you whack it onto the stand quickly without thinking.... That's when it'll get you......
So the obviouse fix is...... Always think about what you're doing.
