Posted December 17, 20204 yr has anyone found a stronger, better alternative to the stock kickstand spring? and can you post links or part numbers? thanks C
December 17, 20204 yr Interested in this as well. Installed a larger steel base pad and the spring definitely feels weak now. Update: The Camel-ADV spring is the way to go. Edited November 28, 20222 yr by Too Tall
December 23, 20204 yr OK, found a spring at Ace Hardware that fits correctly and is stronger. Kickstand with the weight of the additional steel base plate stays up much better now. Fits well with the SW Motech center stand as well. Spring # is: Update: The Camel-ADV spring is the way to go. Edited November 28, 20222 yr by Too Tall clarity
December 28, 20204 yr Author Thank you TooTall for an awesome photo and part #. getting one on way home from work! 🙂
December 28, 20204 yr Used the thinner spring additional. It fits perfect with the stock-spring. https://www.ebay.de/itm/Zugfeder-Federsatz-Seitenstaender-fuer-Derbi-Senda-SM-2011-141-x-18mm-/302490026950
December 28, 20204 yr We, at Rally Raid Products, are having a stiffer spring, 50% stronger than OEM, made from single coil, rather than twin coil. These will be available, along with shorter side stands (for those with lowered suspension) from end January Edited December 28, 20204 yr by Ktmmitch

December 30, 20204 yr Author spring purchased - looks SUPER BURLY have not had time to install - but compared to stock? I think TooTall WINS this mod for sure... 🙂
December 30, 20204 yr I too bought an HH1 spring. It weighs twice as much as stock and sidestand still moves too much retracted. So I just cut the long end of the stocker at the middle of the loop and rebent it. Now the stand retracts with a bang (not as bad as it sounds) and It almost totally eliminates any retracted movement for free.

January 2, 20214 yr Ace recommended above works well. Not a hard kick up. Easy down. Minimal flop on fast dirt roads and whoopties.
July 29, 20213 yr Sorry to drag open this old thread. But i'm looking for a solution for this, but from a European supplier. Rally Raid is in the UK and Camel ADV is US, so i'd be paying too much on shipping and taxes. If anyone knows of a better spring to order from inside Europe, that'd be awesome!
July 29, 20213 yr Heavy-Duty Side Stand Spring from Camel ADV- The Side Stand was already a bit floppy and with the addition of a Givi Side Stand Foot it got floppier and also contacts the Yamaha Center Stand. The HD Spring is the hot ticket for keeping the side stand up where it belongs. I don't think this is a Camel ADV designed or manufactured product, but the fact that they provide it and it solves a problem totally works for me.
July 29, 20213 yr Community Expert Ditto to BoonDocker. I just put my Camel spring on last night. Perfect!!! Yamaha could learn a thing or two from that lad.... How dorky of Yamaha to have a double wimpy spring... kickstand springs have only been around for maybe 100 years!

Our spring is available through dealers as well. Rugged Roads in the UK has stock last I checked. Bits and pieces for your adventure bike. Camel-ADV.com
July 30, 20213 yr @Camel ADVThanks man, i checked all your european dealers already, they do carry most of the items, but the spring is not one of them unfortunately. @Ktmmitch they are UK based, so thanks to Brexit i'd be paying high taxes for import.
