Did you get brand-new official OEM spring from authorised Kawasaki dealer? It's actually two springs in one. Make sure spring ends are inserted into grooves on both sides. And you should have hard time stretching it about 1"-1.5". Sometimes spring hook tool is needed to install.
If you bought used spring off fleabay, it may be used and stretched. Make sure it's strong enough to keep kickstand locked in up position. Otherwise if it flops around, it'll trigger sidestand switch and turn off bike at most unopportune time.
