I've got around 35hrs on the 2013 and haven't noticed any issues, but basically I always use my hand and gently let the stand retract as opposed to letting it flick up. I don't use it very often either as I'm more inclined to just sit on the bike when we regroup. Only real time its handy is when I'm moving it around in the shed and can't push the bike and drag the center stand around together. I have all intentions of removing mine at some point.
