Kickstand spring finished?

My kickstand bounces around so bad and the mount is so bent that it is constantly banging on the swingarm.

It bounces and hits the ground at times. Really annoying.

I can bend the mounting part, but wonder if the spring is worn out and what to do. Do I get a stock spring? Aftermarket? Where?

I'd think you could find a replacement spring at a hardware store.

Mine was a combination of the pivot pin being worn, the connecting bolt also worn..and the spring being weenie.

Replace the fastener hardware, cut the spring, heat it up and bend a new hook to it.

Worked for me!!
