It wouldn't be unknown but unlikely for a sidestand mount. If it's a through bolt then there will be a place where it protrudes the other side of the engine, plus there will usually be a tell-tale bulge in the casing full width. Have a look directly opposite and if there's a nut, put a ring spanner on it. Turn the bolt and see if the spanner moves.

Just been downstairs to have a look at Mrs Stinkwheels CBR600FV (not injection but I think it's the model immediately before yours and has the same alloy frame).
I'm presuming you are meaning the frontmost of the two bolts that hold the sidestand bracket to the bike rather than the bolt that holds the stand to the bracket.
Looks like it's a huge long bolt that also holds the bottom casting (rear cushion) for the monoshock assembly to the engine. If so, it goes right the way through to the other side of the bike and has a locking nut on the other side.
I'd have the bike on the mainstand and chock under the swingarm/rear wheel to stop the whole lot dropping and pivoting out of place before you remove the bolt. There are two spacers in the middle too so keep an eye on where those go. I could see this lot being a total sod to fiddle into alignment to get the bolt back in again. A lot of podgering and risk of trapped fingertips.
If it was me, I'd chock the back end so it can't drop. Then I'd remove the nut and drive the bolt all the way through from the right side of the bike with a long 10mm bolt or bit of bar so the bit of bar replaces the original bolt and keeps everything aligned. Then I'd change the stand and drive the bar back through the other way with the original bolt. Nut back on, job jobbed. Lots of copper grease on the bolt.
If you're struggling to see which nut, get an assistant to turn the bolt while you look to see which nut is turning.
Bolt number 15 on this diagram.

I will attempt the pivot bolt instead. |
If it's turning the nut, It can't be particularly seized. If it was going to seize anywhere, it would be where it goes through the alloy in my experience of such things.
Really easy to check. Undo the nut a few turns and give it a tap with a hammer (it's a flange nut so you can use a socket and extension bar to get on it). See if it moves. If it does, it's all but out, with a potential for having to spray the middle with penetrating oil and tap it back and forth a few times.
Or, as you say, just change out the stand itself, although if you're chainging it due to wear, the bracket part of the pivot will be just as worn as the stand part. Wear safety glasses when you put the spring back on.

Makes you wonder why they put the bolt in from the stand side. If you do get it out, put it back in the other way so all you'll have to do in future is remove the nut to get the stand off.

It's not really obvious so you'd generally have removed the rear wheel and most of the shock linkage -as I did- before you realise this is the case. I was not amused.
