Best $12 I ever spent! Much better spring than OEM one.

This is the spring the Tenere should have come with.
Works... no more floppy side stand.
Super easy install.

Wow what an upgrade from the standard spring. When you unpack this you wonder if it’s for the right bike as it’s so much bigger

Works as advertised. To install, I laid the bike down on its right side, and used electrical tape-wrapped channel-locks to pull the spring over the stud it needed to go over.

With a normally-functioning leg, the stock kickstand is still easy to get down. If you can stand up while riding, it's easy.

Ironically, on the rally I installed this for, I tweaked my MCL in my left knee. This, quite hilariously in a comedy of errors sort of way, greatly diminished my leg strength in basically only one direction: that needed to push a kickstand down while on a bike. That made using this a chore, and I cursed myself several times for installing it. This, of course, is a one-in-a-million sort of thing, that has no bearing over the normal design and function of this product.

Silly Yamaha and their weak little spring. Go ahead and buy this, it fixes the kickstand flopping about like... Well, like it shouldn't.
