I think that is the rubber plug that fits into the end of the centerstand - look carefully at the centerstand and the ends of thepipes that are the "feet" when it is extended onto the floor.

Not the centerstand, but the sidestand. It keeps the sidestand from banging into the centerstand.

If the rubber plugs are hardened, and don't have a tight fit in the metal tube, try a little RTV type sealant/adhesive.

Put those parts on the 'to get' list when you order parts next time.
