Here's a google result that seems to confirm it:

Ok thanks. I’ll take a closer look tomorrow. Kinda scared me when I heard that pop noise as if it was air pressure blowback from something.

Appreciate it.

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.

Yes I bought it from Partszilla. Here’s what it looks like in the stand.
