I was lucky Shocked. Please be careful bike cover user!
I started parking my bike next to the wall.
I bought bike cover for GL1800 to cover without removing top case and it wasn't good idea for strong wind.

My bike(TDM900) looks standing straight on side stand. Previous bike(W650) was more leaning(?) on side stand. I want more lean to the side when standing on a side stand. Is this the type of yamaha bikes?

Should definitely lean, has it been lowered by a previous owner? They are quite tall bikes.

TDM and W are both bought as new bikes. TDM looks more upright compared to W.
