A zip-tie!

Gotta be something that still allows stand deployment without fuss. Got a zip tie on it now as emerg fix until new spring on hand.

Has anyone come up with a failsafe to keep KS or CS up if spring fails? Something like a strong magnet or one of those hardware store clips for holding brooms etc to a wall?

Almost- there were the Honda stands with a rubber toe to make the stand flip back rather than dig in.

Every sensible owner of a British bike should carry a piece of fencing wire, or at least a pair of pliers, so they can get some in an emergency. With experience, you always know where to look for some. But do not take any which has insulators hanging off it. The cattle might escape and cause motorcycle crashes.

Time to get a new spring then. Zip-ties are only there to get you home without taking the bolt and nut off and now you got to stow the bloody thing. Find a suitable tree to perch your ride on....Or use your centre stand.
