I think it is the rear swingarm bushings flexing in a corner allowing the stand to get closer to the ground
Actually, if he just does the spring we may have some fun, ever try to put one of those on??? Not that easy unless you know the trick...a penny for your thoughts...LOL

Uh, that ain't gonna happen. Bertha already has True-Track Trackula rear-end stabilizer kit with solid bronze bushings in the swing arm.

New ones are pretty stiff and require a good pair of vice grips or a pliers made for springs.....Or there is a hint in my previous post ,and/or a way to do it by loosening up something..both make it simple...no cheating....

W/the spring extended - stick coins in-between the expanded coils. Carefully lift the kickstand so that the coins don't fall out, and you'll have enough slack to get the old spring off. To install the new spring, bend it, stick coins in the slots, straighten it up, and you'll have enough slack to get the new spring on.
