Lazy kick stand spring?

Compared to my last 2 hondas, this kick stand seems to be very "lazy" . It doesn't snap up with much authority. And a few times it actually got stuck halfway up.

Anyone else have this issue?

Haven't played with it enough yet to notice, but if it continues to hang up you can get a slightly shorter spring at a hardware/farm supply store.
Or just use some nips and pliers to take a couple loops out of yours and bend a new hook on the end.

I haven't tried the 7gen, but check to see if the bolt that holds the sidestand on isn' to tight........
